Ireland v Montenegro, Croke Park, 14-10-2009 19:00

14 Oct 2009

: Richard Dunne and Robbie Keane

Due to yellow fever that has griped the selection decisions of Geovanni Trapattoni for tonight's game, Keith Andrews and Glen Whelan will be replaced in the midfield by Miller and Rowlands.

Possible Team: Given, Kilbane, Dunne, Ledger (or O'Shea), Kelly, Duff, Miller, Rowlands, Stephen Hunt, Doyle, Noel Hunt.

In the pre match press conference yesterday Trapattoni hinted that Keane and Doyle will play a half each. He also mentioned his reluctance to promote Best and McShane who are both on yellow's.

For Montenegro they have front men Jovetic and Vucinic. With nothing to play for and a depleted side they are not expected to be up for this one.
