Republic of Ireland striker Robbie Keane is set to return to training
next week as he looks to regain fitness in time for Euro 2012.

coming days after suffering a hamstring injury while playing for current
club LA Galaxy.
However, a scan has since revealed that the
former Tottenham striker has not suffered a tear and will be fit to
feature in upcoming friendlies against Bosnia and Herzegovina and
Hungary.
A spokesman for the Football Association of Ireland said:
“Robbie Keane’s scan result came through today and showed all clear
with no sign of any tear or blood.
“He will be assessed when he comes in and should be fine.”
The 31-year-old has 115 caps for the Republic of Ireland has scored 53 times.
