Here's what they had to say:

- Head coach says everyone is disappointed for Callum O'Dowda, although he adds: "He's still young and the future of Ireland"

- Jamie Paterson and Nathan Baker are available again after injury

- On The FA's written reasons for Wright's suspension, Johnson says: "What's done is done, it's frustrating but I can't change it"
- City boss spent the international break with his wife in Dubai but says he snuck out to watch Tammy Abraham's England debut and Callum O'Dowda's appearance for Ireland
