Injury may rule Keane out of Swiss clash

BRIAN KERR will have an anxious wait to see if Roy Keane is fit for what could be a make or break World Cup qualifier against Switzerland at Lansdowne Road next month.

The Manchester United captain, who was already set to miss the Cyprus game through suspension, has been ruled out for at least two weeks with a hamstring injury. But if the injury takes longer to heal, the Corkman could be a doubt for the final group game against the Swiss.

The 33-year-old suffered a recurrence of the injury which had originally kept him out of United’s pre-season tour to the Far East when he was introduced as a substitute in the latter stages of Saturday’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford.
