Rocco Vata is out for the season

Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson will be without Rocco Vata for the World Cup play-offs in March after the winger took to social media to inform fans that his season is over due to injury.

The 20-year-old Watford player was sidelined for more than two months earlier in the campaign with a hamstring problem before making his first start since November 1 in last Saturday’s Championship clash with Blackburn.
