Trap to give youth its chance

IRISH hot prospects Seamus Coleman and Ciaran Clark are definite starters for tomorrow night’s Carling Nations Cup game against Wales but the team will be without the country’s most celebrated hotshot as Robbie Keane has been forced to withdraw with a calf injury sustained in West Ham’s defeat by Birmingham City yesterday.

Wigan’s James McCarthy is another who, disappointingly, misses out.

“After months without a game he plays, scores a goal and today I saw him in the first half running well,” said Trapattoni of Keane after squad training in Malahide yesterday.
