Roy Keane: 'Jonathan Walters could be fit for Republic of Ireland Euro 2016 opener'

Republic of Ireland assistant manager Roy Keane has claimed that Jonathan Walters looks to be winning his battle to be available for his nation's Euro 2016 opener against Sweden on Monday.

Keane said that the Stoke striker trained "fully" on Saturday morning after suffering with Achilles problems over the past week.

"[Walters] got through it. It was a decent session for him," the former Manchester United midfielder told reporters at a press conference.

"The medical staff are saying just leave Jon Walters as he is at this minute and let's see how he is tomorrow, just to see if there was any reaction from yesterday's training."

According to Keane, previous injury concerns Robbie Keane, Robbie Brady and James McCarthy also all trained again without any problem.
