His 67-minute appearance was his first outing since February 27 and he was feeling the effects of cramp and what appeared to be a calf issue before his withdrawal.
He was a doubt for the game against Luexembourg after an interrupted build-up and a spell on the sidelines with Albion due to a cracked rib and Irish boss Stephen Kenny must now plan without him for tomorrow's match at the Aviva Stadium.
