Keane feeling ‘100 times better’

Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane has given manager Martin O’Neill a major boost after revealing he feels “100 times better” than he did.

Keane has been stepping up his comeback at LA Galaxy following surgery on both of his Achilles in the hope of being fit to play for Ireland in the friendly against Serbia on March 5.

He said: “I feel 100 times better. Just to wake up, walk properly and to start practice without any pain or taking 40 minutes to really get going, it feels unbelievable.
