Keane returns, Cunningham to captain
Roy Keane is back in the Republic of Ireland squad for the first time since his World Cup walk-out two years ago.
Last week, the 32-year-old Manchester United skipper confirmed he had made himself available to play for his country again and Ireland coach Brian Kerr has responded by naming Keane in the squad for next Wednesday’s friendly in Poland.
