Robbie Keane may not be fit for Euro 2016 opener

Martin O'Neill has his fingers crossed over key men Robbie Keane and James McCarthy.

Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill will keep his fingers crossed over key men Robbie Keane and James McCarthy after naming them in his 23-man squad for Euro 2016.

Neither the Los Angeles Galaxy striker nor the Everton midfielder played any part in the final two warm-up games because of calf and thigh injuries respectively, but were included when O'Neill announced his squad after Tuesday night's 2-1 defeat by Belarus at Turner's Cross.
