Chiedozie Ogbene and Alan Browne are facing a race against time to be fit for the Republic of Ireland’s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Greece and Gibraltar next month. Frontman Ogbene is working his way back from a hamstring injury suffered during Rotherham’s 1-0 Sky Bet Championship win over Middlesbrough on May 1, while Preston midfielder Browne is continuing his rehabilitation from medial ligament damage sustained at QPR on April 7. Speaking after a four-day training camp with his EFL and League of Ireland-based players in Bristol, manager Stephen Kenny said: “Chiedozie Ogbene had a hamstring tear with Rotherham and hasn’t been able to participate this week, so we’ll have to see how that is. Alan Browne as well, [is] coming back from a medial injury, so these are dilemmas for us.” Ogbene in particular has become a key member of Kenny’s team – he started the 1-0 defeat by World Cup finalists France at the Aviva Stadium in March as Ireland opened their Group B campaign – while Browne has scored against Belgium, Scotland and Norway in the last year or so. The squad is due to be finalised next week – Atletico Madrid defender Matt Doherty will join up after his club’s final LaLiga fixture at Villarreal on June 4 – before preparations begin in earnest. Despite a resilient display against Didier Deschamps’ men, the Republic know they may need to take maximum points from June’s double-header – they face Greece in Athens on Friday, June 16 and Gibraltar in Dublin three days later – if they are to force their way out of a difficult group which also includes the Netherlands. That, however, may prove easier said than done in the heat of the Greek capital – Ireland will spend nine days training in the Turkish resort of Antalya in a bid to acclimatise – and with the hosts having topped their group in Nations League C. Hopefully some of the players can come through some of their injury difficulties and if so, we want to make sure we're ready Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny Kenny said: “Greece are a good team, they won their Nations League group so we’re going to have to really perform to a high level. We need to make sure we are absolutely 100 per cent, and going to Turkey will help us, training in similar conditions, get ourselves ready. “We go to Athens on the Wednesday and play on the Friday against Greece before we come back and play, and I heard that 42,00 have already been sold for Gibraltar, which is fantastic. It would be great to have a full house there if we could on the Monday night. “But at the moment, we’re firmly focused on our preparations for that, and I think that will give us a chance, our preparations here, coming to Bristol, going to Turkey. “Hopefully some of the players can come through some of their injury difficulties and if so, we want to make sure we’re ready.”

The Sidemen are back with another massive game for charity this year, and it’s set to be bigger than ever before. The collective have hosted a match to raise money for a good cause since back in 2016, and last year’s event proved to be one of the most entertaining moments in the YouTube calendar. The game was hosted at Charlton Athletic's The Valley. It saw The Sidemen beat the YouTube Allstars 8-7, with the event raising an incredible £2m for charity. This year, things are going up a notch – here’s everything you need to know. When is the 2023 Sidemen charity match? This year’s Sidemen match will take place on Saturday, September 9. The kick-off time is 3pm. Where is it being held? The 2023 match will take place at 62,500-capacity London Stadium in Stratford, London. Given the success of last year, it’s not surprising to see the event take place in a bigger venue. Graham Gilmore, CEO of London Stadium, said after the venue was announced: “This event goes from strength to strength, with the move to London Stadium demonstrating the success The Sidemen have built over recent years, not only in bringing so many great names together, but raising money for important charities too. "In addition, we will be delighted to welcome the huge global audience on streaming and digital channels, who will be joining the 60k plus fans in the Stadium!” Who is playing this year? The official line-up has now been announced, and some of the biggest names on YouTube will be taking part. As ever, the YouTube Allstars will likely be made up of some of the most popular names on the platform and it while it had previously been confirmed that MrBeast will play, the full list has now been revealed. The Sidemen team is as follows: KSI W2S Miniminter Vikkstar123 Behzinga Zerkaa TBJZL Callux Lazarbeam Tareq Calfreezy Randolph TBA JME MrBeast Airrack Angry Ginge Manny Wroetoshaw Deji The YouTube Allstars team is as follows: IShowSpeed xQc Danny Aarons Chandler Hallow Niko Omilana Max Fosh Kai Cenat AboFlah Chunks ChrisMD Karl Jacobs Theo Baker WillNE Filly Jackscepticey JiDion Duke Dennis Konstantine Rapper Aitch will also be performing at halftime during the show this year. YouTube All Stars will be managed again by Mark Goldbridge, while Billy Wingrove will managed The Sidemen. Meanwhile, Spencer Owen and Stephen Tries will commentate on the game, with Elz the Witch and Big Zuu set to host. Are tickets still available? Unfortunately, no tickets are available after all 62,000 tickets sold in less than 90 minutes after going on sale earlier this year. How can I watch? The game was streamed for free via The Sidemen's YouTube channel last year, and viewers will be able to watch the action on the channel again on Saturday set to start around 2:10 pm with a 3pm kick-off. Which charities are being supported? Charities being supported this year include Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), Teenage Cancer Trust and Rays of Sunshine. "This is a major milestone for us," Zerkaa said. "When we first set up this event back in 2016, we never thought we'd be playing in a stadium of over 62,000 people. "Not only are we able to give back to our loyal fans, but being able to raise further funds for charities that are so close to our hearts give us a lot to be proud and thankful for. We can't wait to see all of you in September." Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
