Keane rules out England return

Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane last night dismissed any prospect of a another return to the Premier League, insisting he does not miss England.

Keane will play line out for LA Galaxy in a friendly against Manchester United at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in the early hours of tomorrow morning and while he is looking forward to seeing some familiar faces he doesn’t “hanker” for the Premier League.

“I don’t hanker for England, not at all,” Keane said. “I speak to a lot of players in England, but my routine has completely changed.
