Tardelli confident despite injury worries

Marco Tardelli is convinced Republic of Ireland stalwarts Robbie Keane and Richard Dunne will be able to lead the fight for precious Euro 2012 qualifying points against Macedonia.

Keane, currently on loan at West Ham, has managed only a few minutes of competitive football for his club since shaking off a calf injury, while Dunne has been missing from the Aston Villa side for the last three weeks with a shoulder problem.
