"A player – who cannot be named at this time - tested positive on Friday after a negative test on Monday but his case is not related in any way to that of the backroom team member who tested positive on Monday last," read an FAI statement.
"Talks with the HSE late last night identified four other players as close contacts of this positive case and they have been stood down from the matchday squad for today’s game against Wales."
It's understood Callum Robinson, John Egan, Alan Browne and Callum O'Dowda will be absent from the fixture as they were close contacts of the positive case.
So they've named the four close contacts, but not the player who is positive.
