Trio return for Republic

Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni has recalled James McCarthy, Jon Walters and Seamus Coleman to his squad for next month’s decisive Euro 2012 qualifiers against Andorra and Armenia.

Wigan midfielder McCarthy and Stoke striker Walters were left out of the party for the clashes with Slovakia and Russia earlier this month – McCarthy was later elevated from the Under-21s for the second game – after withdrawing from previous squads as the Italian sent out a message, while Coleman was injured.
