As he prepares to take on the English, O’Shea says he never gave much thought to those situations.

He told reporters: "No, not at all.

"Look, it's one of them - it's a focus on us, the players that are here, the players that want to be here. It's as simple as that.

"He's not here, he's in the England squad so you can't keep talking about it."
