Keane tonic for Trap

Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni is confident skipper Robbie Keane will be fit to start preparations for Euro 2012 after an injury scare.

The 31-year-old Los Angeles Galaxy striker is due to arrive in Dublin from the United States tomorrow after undergoing a scan on a hamstring strain.

Trapattoni said: “The news is the scan in the US was not bad. We are not worried and we await him with confidence.”
