Soccer: Sadlier and Healy drafted into Ireland squad

Ireland manager Mick McCarthy has drafted two newcomers into his squad to face Russia in a friendly at Lansdowne Road next week.

Milwall’s Richard Sadlier and Celtic’s Colin Healy have already played at under-21 level.

Meanwhile, Mark Kinsella, Rory Delap and David Connolly were all omitted from the 24-man squad due to injury, while Damien Duff returned to the panel for the first time since September.
