Coleman starts for Ireland

Everton's Seamus Coleman has been given a starting place in the Republic of Ireland defence for tomorrow's World Cup qualifier against Germany at the Aviva.

Giovanni Trapattoni named the side this afternoon and said he would decide the formation on the pitch, but it looks like he will play a 4-3-3 formation with Stoke's Jon Walters as the lone striker with Aiden McGeady and Simon Cox on the wings.
