ThereÂ’s every chance Anthony Pilkington will start for the Republic of Ireland in the vital World Cup qualifier against Sweden at the Aviva Stadium on Friday.
The Norwich midfielder did exit training early but it was all in a good cause as he has pool sessions every Wednesday as part of his rehab for a succession of leg injuries.
Assistant manager Marco Tardelli did reveal management would have no problem in throwing Pilkington in at the deep end against the Swedes.
