Republic of Ireland Assistant manager has today (Monday) confirmed that defender Stephen Kelly (Fulham) and goalkeeper Kieren Westwood (Sunderland) have been both forced to withdraw from the squad for Wednesday's 3 International friendly against the Czech Republic at the Aviva Stadium.

A thigh injury has kept Kelly out while Westwood is suffering with a wrist problem.

Tardelli also reported that, although both Kevin Doyle and Keith Fahey weren't involved in today's training session, their knocks are not expected to prevent them being available for the friendly.
