Seamus Coleman returned home before the flight to Hungary as he was unable to recover from a hamstring injury. The rest of the squad is contention for the match.
What he said - Ireland manager Stephen Kenny
"I'm expecting a tough match against the Hungarians, they're participating in the European Championships, it will be a great test for us.
"I’m glad the fans can get back to the stands as this game is actually about them. We can finally get back the passion that I missed so much already and I'm sure the players will be equally as excited to play in front of any support.
"We're not in a position to make wholesale changes because we want a degree of continuity, but there will be some changes alright in the team.
"We've got to look to build on the result against Andorra. That was a game we were expected to win so now we face a different proposition so we must rise to the occasion."

What he said - Ireland defender John Egan
"Obviously, with no disrespect, we expect to be beating Andorra. We did that and now we're coming up against a really kind of, I suppose, established outfit in Hungary.
"They've been playing together for a while and they've obviously qualified for a major tournament, so it's going to be a tougher game.
“But you know, we're confident. We've been enjoying training and there has been probably a bit of a relief and a bit of a smile on people's faces after the win.
"Hopefully we can take that in now to the game tomorrow night and hopefully we can play as well as we can and get a result.”
