Republic of Ireland senior international captain Seamus Coleman will miss the team's friendly against Hungary in Budapest this week because of injury.
The Killybegs man sat out Friday evening's 4-1 win in Andorra because of hamstring string.
Following further assessment, he is returning home as a precaution with him unable to recover from the injury in time for the fixture.
The rest of the squad will travel to Budapest later on Sunday from Girona, Spain.
