Ireland boss Sammy McIlroy did not want to risk him against the Poles in Limassol with Manchester City due to play Newcastle in the FA Cup on Sunday.

McIlroy said: "We couldn't take a chance on Kevin because of Manchester City's involvement in the Cup."

Horlock is due to fly back to England on Wednesday morning for further treatment on the injury.
