O'Shea doubtful for play-off

Defender John O’Shea is a major doubt for the Ireland’s Euro 2012 play-off against Estonia.

Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has already ruled O’Shea out of Saturday’s Barclays Premier League trip to former club Manchester United, and admits his chances of making the first leg of Ireland’s showdown with the Estonians in Tallinn next Friday night are remote.
