FIFA to investigate Brady incident in victory over Wales
FIFA are to investigate an incident in Ireland’s World Cup 2018 qualifying win over Wales involving Robbie Brady and Ashley Williams.
Ireland midfielder Brady appeared to flick his head towards Wales defender Ashley Williams in the incident, which could lead to disciplinary action against the Irishman.
Sky Sports have reported that FIFA will adjudicate on the incident this week. Ireland won the game 1-0, meaning they qualified for a two-legged play-off to reach next summer’s finals in Russia against an as yet unknown opponent. However, should Brady be sanctioned for the incident he could miss the vital games that represent the final hurdle to Martin O’Neill’s side qualifying for the world’s biggest sporting tournament.
Former Wales striker Craig Bellamy commented on the incident, saying: "UEFA or FIFA officials should they look at that? They might have to justify their jobs when they get called in to look at these things as are they are on huge money to do so, but does he deserve a suspension for that? No chance."
