The Reading striker is part of the squad that was due to play their opening 2010 World Cup qualifier in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on Saturday.
But the game has been switched to Mainz in Germany after a four-day war broke out between Georgia and Russia last month over the breakaway region of South Ossetia.
"The switch was a bit of a result, but I wouldn't have minded going to Georgia," he said. "The conflict is between Russia and Georgia, not Ireland. I think we would have been safe."
Doyle's Royals team-mates Stephen Hunt and Shane Long are also in the squad.
