Injuries could give fringe players a chance

Outside players on the Republic's squad may be in with a chance of a major promotion for the rest of the tournament.

The fringe figures who have not had full games so far in the first round of the World Cup may have to step in for injured players this Tuesday.

Several players have apparently received knocks from the clash with Germany last Wednesday.

Players like Clinton Morrison are getting themselves ready for a chance to step onto the field internationally.

Morrison may get the chance to face Saudi Arabia this Tuesday.

The Crystal Palace player says that he is ready, willing and able.

Steven Reid might get a full game as well if other players are still unfit for the final Irish game in Group E.
