Soccer: Kinsella to replace Keane on Thursday
Mark Kinsella will stand in for Roy Keane in the second leg of Ireland’s World Cup qualifier against Iran in Tehran this Thursday.
Keane underwent tests on his injured knee today and it appears that he may require surgery before he plays again.
An operation could leave the influential midfielder on the sidelines for three months.
Meanwhile, the Irish team has arrived in Iran to a vociferous welcome from hundreds of Irish fans
