SOUNDBITE: (English) Martin O'Neill, Republic of Ireland manager (on Arkadiusz Milik missing the match)

"I think that he missing is obviously a blow to Poland. He's a brilliant player, he really has been exceptional, particularly in the tournament, and I don't think they're short too much of ready made replacements in that sense. And in Lewandowski... I would say that outside the very very best players in the world, Messi and Ronaldo, Lewandowski is in a bracket of a number of players that you would say are not far behind. He's really brilliant. And when you have someone like that there that you can rely on, and he has been exceptional for them, then they're going to cause you plenty of problems. But I know we have to cope with that and try and come through. We obviously know what we have to do, we have to do get a high-scoring draw or we win the game, and why not? We might as well focus exactly on that."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Martin O'Neill, Republic of Ireland manager

"I think that the starting line-up might just be a little bit different. Maybe not too many changes but obviously one or two players... I think Seamus (Coleman) is going to be fine. Glenn Whelan obviously and James McClean coming back from suspension all really wanting to play, I think, and depending how we go this evening - we'll do a little bit but not very much - we are just getting ourselves ready for it."
