Trap releases five for Uruguay clash

Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni has rewarded his senior players for their efforts in last night’s 2-1 Euro 2012 qualifier victory over Macedonia by sending them home.

Skipper Robbie Keane, Kevin Kilbane, Richard Dunne, Damien Duff and the injured Kevin Doyle have all been withdrawn from the squad for Tuesday night’s friendly against Uruguay at the Aviva Stadium.
