Roy Keane unimpressed with convenient injuries to international players

“It’s ironic that they all seem to get ruled out for 10-14 days."

Roy Keane has questioned club managers ruling out injured players for up to a fortnight during international breaks.

Keane, number two to Republic of Ireland boss Martin O’Neill, suggested it was “ironic” that players are often conveniently adjudged to be 10-14 days away from a return by their employers when they are due to meet up with their countries.
