Keane fit, Keogh out of Faroe Islands clash

Embattled Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni was handed a timely boost today when skipper Robbie Keane was declared fit to travel to the Faroe Islands for Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier.

The 32-year-old LA Galaxy striker missed Friday night’s 6-1 drubbing by Germany with an Achilles injury, but after training this morning, was included in the party which left Dublin for Torshavn.
