Trapattoni taken ill and admitted to Dublin hospital

Republic of Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni has been taken to hospital after falling ill in Dublin.

The 71-year-old Italian has been complaining of feeling unwell since arriving in Ireland last Sunday and he believes that his sickness was caused by eating some bad shellfish.

“He is suffering from nausea which he believes may have been caused by shellfish he ate before he left Italy," read an FAI statement.

"He has been looked after by the FAI team doctor Dr Alan Byrne who as a precautionary measure brought him to the Mater Hospital this morning at 3am after further vomiting.

“He is in a stable condition and undergoing some tests this morning."

Assistant manager Marco Tardelli took charge of the squad for training on Tuesday.
