World Cup: Staunton to captain Ireland

Mick McCarthy has just held his daily press conference ahead of tomorrow's World Cup Qualifier against Estonia tomorrow.

This morning's training session was relocated away from the match venue because of the state of the pitch.

Kevin Kilbane sat out the session, but Mick McCarthy said that was just precautionary.

He said he had no real injury worries within the team, but declined to name the squad for tomorrow's match.

However, he did reveal that Steve Staunton will retain his place, enabling him to set an all-time Irish record of 89 caps.

In the absence of suspended Roy Keane, Staunton will mark the occasion by captaining the side.
