Dundalk players are to be tested for COVID-19 after members of the first-team squad were seen socialising in Belfast last weekend.
The Sun report that images apparently showing Sonni Nattestad and Sean Murray have prompted the FAI to ask the club as to the circumstances surrounding the pictures, which appear to show Murray and Nattestad near Victoria Street in the city.
The Mirror reports that members of the squad will face fresh testing after the images emerged.
The FAI have yet to comment publicly on the matter.
Dundalk
Former Dundalk manager Shane Keegan joined Off The Ball last Sunday to look back at a chaotic end to his time at the club.
"I shouldn't be the Dundalk manager, I never wanted to be the Dundalk manager, I never expected to be the Dundalk manager, I'm not qualified to be the Dundalk manager. Just because I have a Pro Licence doesn't mean I should be the Dundalk manager," Keegan said.
"Dundalk are still, to my mind, the biggest club in the entire country. Someone with a CV like shouldn't be within an ass' roar of getting the Dundalk manager's job. Absolutely not. They should be going for the best of the best that is out there now they are in a position to do that and I suspect that's what they'll do.
"That has to be taken into account first. Do I back myself and want to get back involved in the manner I did at Wexford? 100%. I've had a few ups and downs over the last few years but I back myself. But I don't have the CV to be Dundalk manager.
"On the flip side, I certainly did say that if my name is going to be front-and-centre then I'm going to have to have a bit more involvement than I'd expect."
He was thought to be 'fronting' for Filippo Giovagnoli, who lacked the correct coaching qualifications for the role.
"Filippo was offered a job, you can't blame him for taking it. But there are certain things going against Filippo that he can't have done much about. By his own admission, it's the first adult team he's managed and he's coming into a league that he doesn't know much about.
"It is very tough for him to do the job to a standard that's required. He would have made the point to me early that he has a very clear philosophy and if I'm not able to fall in line then it's going to be difficult to work. You can't force yourself into believing in a certain way of doing things.
"My natural way of doing things would have been very, very different."
