The Irish midfielder has suffered a minor injury and could miss the game with Georgia.
Blackburn’s Martin Samuelsen and Leeds’ Eunan O’Kane in action
Leeds United midfielder Eunan O’Kane is currently a doubt for the upcoming Republic of Ireland game against Georgia – according to reports.
O’Kane was called up to the Ireland squad by Martin O’Neill after some good form since joining Leeds United from Bournemouth this summer.
The 26-year-old is however, according to the Irish Independent, carrying a knock and may not be available for the game v Georgia on Thursday.

The nature of the knock is not known but it seems he arrived at Ireland training with the injury and that it is not too serious.
O’Kane played the full 90 minutes against Barnsley in his most recent game for Leeds at the weekend, so it is uncertain when he picked up the problem.
Leeds fans have been very impressed with the performances of the midfielder since his surprise deadline day switch from the South Coast.
He has been performing well for the club since making the move and is now stepping up to the role of leader in the midfield with captain Liam Bridcutt currently out of action.
Leeds fans will no doubt hope he is given the right amount of time to allow his problem to heal. Another midfield injury would not be welcomed at Elland Road.
