Trapattoni confident on Keane fitness for Macedonia tie

Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni is confident skipper Robbie Keane will be fit to lead his country into Euro 2012 battle with Macedonia on Saturday.

The 30-year-old, who has scored 45 goals in 104 senior appearances for Ireland, has managed just a few minutes as a substitute in West Ham's FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Stoke since returning from a four-game lay-off with a calf injury.
