Republic of Ireland skipper Robbie Keane and experienced defender Richard Dunne are both expected to be fit for tomorrow’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Armenia.

Keane is battling a knee problem while Dunne has missed several days’ training this week with a muscle injury.

However, both were expected to take part in the session at the Yerevan Republican Stadium this evening and be available for the game.

Dunne will line up in a back four alongside Sean St Ledger with John O’Shea and Kevin Kilbane as the full-backs, while the midfield will comprise Liam Lawrence, Paul Green, Glenn Whelan and Aiden McGeady.

Keane, who will win his 101st senior international cap, will partner Kevin Doyle in attack.
