Skipper Robbie Keane has been ruled out of tomorrow night's FIFA World Cup qualifier against Germany with an Achilles injury.

Keane will remain with the squad to undergo treatment, and will hopefully be available for the game in the Faroe Islands on Tuesday night.

Giovanni Trapattoni will name Keane's replacement as captain and his starting XI at 3pm this afternoon in the Grand Hotel, Malahide.
