Republic of Ireland's Robbie Brady insists that he is happy to play wherever manager Martin O'Neill wants during their Euro 2016 opener against Sweden.

Robbie Brady has insisted that he is happy to play anywhere for the Republic of Ireland in their Euro 2016 opener against Sweden on Monday.

Brady has featured in both defence and midfield for club and country this season, and was expected to play in a back four when Martin O'Neill's side get their campaign underway at the Stade de France.

However, Jonathan Walters is struggling with a calf injury that could see Brady move further up the field, and the Norwich City man has no qualms with filling whichever role is required.

"We have still got a few days left until the game and everyone is fighting to be fit and ready. I have not spoken to anybody yet," he told reporters.

"We are just trying to get our last bits of preparation in and I'll be ready to play wherever I am asked to play. It's exciting for everyone involved, including ourselves. The lads are trying to soak up as much as we can.

"But we are not getting carried away with ourselves. We have a tough job at hand, but we are really, really looking forward to it."

Ireland will also take on Belgium and Italy in Group E.
