"The two players have now reported safely to the team hotel in Dublin."

Duffy joined Albion from Blackburn in August and played 31 matches last season as Brighton were promoted into the Premier League. A broken metatarsal ended his Albion season in early March but he is in contention to return to action when Ireland play Mexico in a friendly in New Jersey on Friday. They then host Uruguay on Sunday.
