Republic of Ireland protector has actually defended team-mate Callum Robinson's choice not to be immunized against Covid-19 in spite of twice contracting the virus.
Speaking at a press conference in Baku ahead of Saturday night's Globe Mug qualifier versus Azerbaijan, Egan stated: "I suppose most importantly, Cal was asked a concern, he provided a solution.
"He really did not appear and state he protested the inoculation or anything, so I was fairly disappointed to see the amount of individuals jumped down his throat.
"Everybody can choose whether to get the vaccination or otherwise, it's a personal choice. As a team-mate, as a buddy, I back my team-mates, I back my friends.
"It does not indicate that I think the same way, it does not mean that everybody is mosting likely to believe similarly, but I don't believe Cal appeared and also said he protested the vaccination, he simply just addressed an inquiry as well as said he hasn't had it yet.
"Regarding that's worried, Cal is a team-mate of mine, he's a close friend of mine and hopefully now he can kick on with Ireland and also do well."
Asked at his interview if Robinson regretted what he had actually said, supervisor Stephen Kenny included: "What I can state about is that he's such a preferred member of the squad. He's a breath of fresh air.
"He constantly comes in with a smile on his face, he's infectious, he brings giggling to the dressingroom, individuals love him. He has fantastic high qualities as a guy, fantastic top qualities as a person.
"He has actually attracted a great deal of criticism due to the fact that he just came into a press conference and also where the huge bulk of players reject to address the concerns, he was open and also clear and he has been vilified for it.
"But he is a great individual and also I believe all of the players would certainly confirm that. They truly talk so well of him and he's a very, popular participant of the team."
