Has Keane played his last game for Ireland?

ROY KEANE limped out of Anfield yesterday and out of Ireland's potentially decisive final World Cup qualifier against Switzerland next month with a broken bone in his foot.

Man United officials confirmed Keane broke his third metatarsal foot in a challenge with Luis Garcia, the injury suffered by David Beckham, Gary Neville and Steven Gerrard in recent years.

If the spell out is as lengthy as the initial prognosis indicates, it means the influential Corkman will miss six league games, the October 8th trip to Cyprus and the October 12th Swiss clash.
