Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill says Jon Walters will miss their crucial clash against Belgium on Saturday, and warns his team they must compete for the full 90 minutes.
O'Neill's players face the world's top ranked football nation in Bordeaux this weekend, with both sides desperate to collect their first win of Euro 2016.
While the Irish opened with a 1-1 draw against Sweden, during which Walters was substituted with an Achilles injury, Belgium were beaten by Italy.
Neither side can afford to lose their second match and O'Neill said of his team: "Jon is not going to be fit, so we will have to make at least one change.
"We will have a look at it and decide on it Saturday morning."
We can't afford 15 or 20-minute periods where we fall into a lull. We can't afford to do that.
Regarding the necessity to maintain their concentration for the entire Group E fixture, O'Neill added: "These are big games for us and we really have to be mentally tuned-in.
"We have to be physically as strong as we possibly can be and we can't afford 15 or 20-minute periods where we fall into a lull. We can't afford to do that.
"Other sides in this competition who have got a lot of talent at their disposal maybe can afford to do that, but we can't, so we have got to be at it.
"But I think the players have shown this now for quite some considerable time. If you think about maybe since the disappointment of Scotland over a year ago, I think competitively we have been there, we have been there fighting for every ball and we haven't allowed games to disappear.
"We have had to play very strongly to get to this position and I see no reason why we shouldn't continue that. If we don't, it won't be for lack of endeavour."
As for the Belgium squad, the 64-year-old went on: "They are very talented, there's no question about it, no question.
"They all play big-club football and they would maybe look at us and feel as if some of our players are not playing at the level that they play at every single week.
"So I think they would feel that they might have an advantage like that. But it doesn't always work out that way.
"It's worth repeating that, individually, they are as talented as any side playing in this competition. And if they went on to win the competition, it wouldn't be a major surprise to me."
