Keane Sits Out Training with Ankle Injury

Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane sat out training this morning just two days before the World Cup qualifier in Germany. The 33-year-old LA Galaxy striker was forced to watch from the sidelines after taking a kick to the ankle. However, goalkeeping coach Alan Kelly insists Keane wasn't a doubt Friday night's Group C clash in Cologne. Caretaker boss Noel King and the squad fly out of Dublin this afternoon to continue preparations in Germany but King won't name his team until just before kick off.
