Carrow Road trio catch Tardelli’s eye

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND coach Marco Tardelli has revealed that Norwich City trio Wes Hoolahan, Anthony Pilkington and Marc Tierney are firmly on his international radar.

The former World Cup winner, who was at Carrow Road to see the Canaries take on Arsenal last weekend, admitted he and Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni were weighing up all their options with regards to their final 23-man Euro 2012 squad.

It leaves the door open for an international return for Hoolahan, who won his only senior cap under Trapattoni in a 2008 friendly against Colombia.
