Keane unlikely to start against Armenia

Republic of Ireland skipper Robbie Keane is being given every chance to prove his fitness ahead of Tuesday night's Euro 2012 showdown with Armenia, despite a scan revealing a big problem with his abductor muscle.

The 31-year-old striker is a major doubt for the game at the Aviva Stadium which will decide Ireland's Group B fate as they attempt to secure a play-off berth.
