McLeish expects Keane impact

ROBBIE KEANE will start his Aston Villa career on the bench but manager Alex McLeish expects him to come on and score.

“It is more likely that he will make an impact like Thierry Henry did for Arsenal,” said the Scot. “He’ll just come on and score instead! I’ve told him that.”

The Ireland captain looked good in training this week and McLeish expects him to give the players a boost and would like to see his strikers up their game with a prolific scorer like Keane waiting in the wings.
