Roy Keane came through his first training session with the Republic of Ireland with “no problems” and will fly out to Poland with the rest of the team this afternoon ahead of Wednesday’s friendly in Bydgoszcz.

The Manchester United captain trained at the unusual setting of Malahide Football Club just outside Port Marnock and is set to play for his country again for the first time since sensationally being sent home before the World Cup finals in 2002.
