This comes from a assortment of sources but the consensus seems to be that Candreva is injured and Buffon has flu. De Rossi likely to be given the night off to recover for the Spain game. Most or all of the Juventus back 3 to be rotated.
Edit: The roof will be closed. I also just found this...

You're spending too much time in the bookies David. Work on that. ;-)
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
That's my favourite piece of Irish Team based paranoia in a long long long time.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
acc to La Gazetta only Florenzi remains from Sweden game

Get in.
A photo of tonight's kits has been posted by the FAI on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BG9kGieBHlD/
What I found interesting is that the keeper jersey is #1, which is Westwood's number. An indication he may be starting or would it just be a stock jersey?
Im sick to my stomach in anticipation...
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
It's absolutely baking here at the stadium, no idea why roof would be closed at this point.
Why do I do this to myself every time?
Where does this endless pool of hope come from?
Not sure. The shorts of the outfield kits don't have the same numbers as the jerseys so probably not much to be read into it. Also number 14 is Walters' jersey...
Quite annoyed we're not wearing green.

Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
We're the "away" team, according to the fixture list, so no chance we'd be allowed to wear green with Italy wearing blue as the "home" team. It was announced a few weeks ago that we'd be wearing white for the Belgium and Italy games. There's probably some commercial agreement in place there with Umbro too.
I know. But I still find it really aggravating. Don't remember the Italians complaining when we wore green in '94 and I don't really care about shirt sales. I like us to wear green in big games, irrational need or not, and there's no compelling need for us not to except modern football's need for lots of little, pointless rules.
EDIT - Just realised Italy wore white in '94, but I DON'T CARE ALRIGHT I WANT GREEN.

Team announced, four changes - O'Shea, Clark, Whelan and Hoolahan out. Duffy, Keogh, Murphy and McClean in.
That's bold enough.
Full team, just a guess at the formation.
----------Randolph-----------
Coleman-Duffy-Keogh---Ward
-------McCarthy--Hendrick---
--------------Brady-------------
Long-----Murphy------McClean

I'm even sicker now...

Can't say i am optimistic, the bookies say 5/2 I am thinking more 10-1 or more woudl be fairer odds!
But...... you never know.
Breaking news.... England to play Iceland! ( they will no doubt get beat. I wanna see the odds there!)
Let's get positive, I sense a Murphy hat-trick!!
Where is Whelan?
----------Randolph-----------
Coleman-Duffy-Keogh---Ward
-------McCarthy--Hendrick---
--------------Brady-------------
Long-----Murphy------McClean
I know Tricky, I'm a bit bereft too. A fit Glenn Whelan has been left out of the team. On purpose. Apocolypse now.

It is a travesty we could lose by 5 or more. Mark my words.
Happy with the faith showed in McCarthy. Think I would have only changed one of the centre backs, probably Duffy for Clark.
