Keane expected to keep captaincy

Republic of Ireland and Tottenham striker Robbie Keane is expected to retain the captaincy at White Hart Lane despite being said to have organised the Christmas party that infuriated Harry Redknapp.

Redknapp held a meeting with the players involved in the trip to Dublin nearly two weeks ago and it is understood the matter was resolved amicably, with a donation being made to charity as a result.
