McClean will now hope to return for Stoke City as soon as possible, and potentially feature against Bristol City on Good Friday.

The Verdict

Ireland should never be losing to Luxembourg, but it was a hugely disappointing night for them and they just didn't turn up.

To reach 80 games for a country is some achievement, and to score his 11th goal for his country makes it even more special.

McClean has to put it behind him now, though, and help Stoke push for a strong end to the season under Michael O'Neill.
