Giovanni Trapattoni has included Shane Long in his 26-man Ireland squad to face Estonia in the Euro
2012 play-offs next month.
West Brom ruled Long out for 'up to six weeks' after he was injured by Alan Hutton's two-footed
lunge during the first half of their 2-1 Premier League win at Villa Park.
Robbie Keane's 49th international goal saw Ireland claim the inaugural Carling Nations Cup with a
1-0 win over Scotland.
Keane grabbed the winner midway through the first half after running 30 yards and firing low under
Allan McGregor.
The skipper's place in the history books in international goals scored owes much to the work of the
much-maligned Paul McShane.
Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni will make four changes to his side for tomorrow's Carling
Nations Cup decider against Scotland.
The Italian today named his team for the final match of the four nations tournament in the Aviva
Stadium but said he may review his line-up after another training session.
With Darren Bent gone and Danny Welbeck out for six to eight weeks with a knee problem the Black
Cats face a striker crisis.
It seems like the North-East club will be forced to play Asamoah Gyan upfront on his own unless
they can get in a new striker.
So what options does Steve Bruce have?
