Richard Keogh prepared to face Gibraltar despite nursing broken hand

Richard Keogh is ready to play with a broken hand as the Republic of Ireland attempt to launch their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign with victory in Gibraltar.

The 32-year-old Derby defender broke a bone in his right hand during Wednesday's 0-0 Sky Bet Championship draw with Stoke, but opted not to have surgery to repair the damage which would have ruled him out of the double-header against Gibraltar and Georgia.
