Carsley urges Trap to include Ireland in Euro plans

Lee Carsley believes Giovanni Trapattoni has to consider Stephen Ireland in his European Championships plans.

And the former Ireland international insists none of his old team mates will complain if the controversial Aston Villa midfielder is included.

Ireland has not played international football since September 2007’s infamous ‘grannygate’ incident and he has never shown a strong desire to return, despite recent comments from wife Jessica that he is interested in making the trip to Poland in June.
