SOCCER

Ahead of Saturday's Euro qualifier against Scotland, Robbie Keane is a slight injury concern for Ireland manager Martin O'Neill.

According to the Irish Daily Mail, he's still suffering with the groin injury that has limited him to one full game since April 4th.

In better news for the Irish captain he signed an extension to his deal with LA Galaxy.

Keane joined the club in 2011 and has played 91 times for the club.

The Ireland Under-20s will now have to face Wales in a 5th/8th place play-off at the Under-20 World Championships in Italy.

Nigel Carolan's side missed-out on a semi-final spot after they were beaten 25-3 by New Zealand last night in their final match in Pool C.

Team captain Nick McCarthy will be a doubt ahead of Monday's game against Wales after the scrum-half was forced-off with a suspected shoulder injury during last night's defeat.
