Republic of Ireland captain Nathan Collins said he felt he left his team-mates "on their own" after missing the two controversial Nations League games against Israel in the last international window through injury.

Collins was sidelined for the four-game window in September and October with a calf problem and had to watch on as the Irish lost 1-0 away to Kosovo, beat Israel 3-0 in Debrecen and then draw 2-2 with Austria at home and 1-1 with Israel again in Serbia.
