Republic of Ireland coach Martin O'Neill admits he has no idea of West Ham defender Declan Rice's international plans.
However, it's believed that the Irish camp are now reasonably confident the 19-year-old might stick with them.
In the aftermath of Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Poland, O'Neill said he was unaware of any update with regard to Rice's position.
"I don't know any more than you do at this particular juncture," he said.
"Honestly, I genuinely don't. There's no point in me commenting here positively or negatively until I get to talk to the people again."
