Kerr to reshuffle pack in Faroes

BRIAN KERR faces decisions at the back and front as he prepares his Republic of Ireland side for the Group 4 clash with the Faroe Islands tomorrow evening.

Speaking shortly after the squad's arrival at their hotel on a hilltop overlooking the Faroese capital Torshavn, Kerr indicated that both Roy Keane and Stephen Carr would return to a side which travelled from Dublin without injured striker Robbie Keane and suspended defender Andy O'Brien.

As expected, Steve Finnan is another absentee from the squad as he struggles to recover from the thigh injury which kept him out of the Israel game.
