Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni will undergo minor surgery on Wednesday and miss the friendly international against Argentina, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) said.
In a statement, the FAI said Trapattoni had abdominal pain which turned out to be from minor scar tissue from previous surgery.
"To relieve the pain, he will undergo minor surgery at 3 p.m. (1400 GMT) today," the FAI said.
Assistant manager Marco Tardelli will take charge of the Irish squad when it meets Argentina in Dublin later on Wednesday.
Trapattoni was kept overnight in hospital after suffering from nausea since Sunday, which the 71-year-old Italian thought may have been caused by shellfish he ate.
