Andrews Starts for Ireland as Delaney Added to Squad - Ipswich Town News
Town loanee Keith Andrews has been named in the Republic of Ireland starting line-up for their Euro 2012 qualifier against Slovakia in Dublin on Friday evening (Sky Sports Three/HD3 7.30pm). Blues defender Damien Delaney has been added to the squad.
Andrews, who has previously won 20 caps and has scored two goals, will play his usual international role, sitting in front of the defence along with Stoke’s Glenn Whelan.
Five-times capped Delaney, who was named in the provisional squad but was left out of the final party, has been drafted in after Kevin Kilbane dropped out due to injury.
Also on international this week are David Stockdale with England, Carlos Edwards, with Trinidad and Tobago, Jaime Peters with Canada and Josh Carson with the Northern Irish U21s.
Striker Tamás Priskin, who had been out of action with a recurrence of his knee injury, is with Hungary for their Euro 2012 qualifiers against Sweden tomorrow and Moldova next Tuesday.
Republic of Ireland: Shay Given, John O'Shea, Richard Dunne, Sean St Ledger, Stephen Ward, Damien Duff, Keith Andrews, Glenn Whelan, Aiden McGeady, Robbie Keane and Shane Long.
