Robbie Keane out of Austria match

Robbie Keane has been ruled out of the Republic of Ireland's upcoming World Cup qualifier against Austria.

It was reported earlier today that the 32-year-old was due to undergo a scan on the calf injury that forced him to limp out of Friday's 0-0 draw away in Sweden.

The results of those tests have revealed that the damage is too severe for the Los Angeles Galaxy centre-forward to be considered for selection when Austria visit the Aviva Stadium on Tuesday.

As a result, coach Giovanni Trapattoni has instead called up Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Kevin Doyle as a replacement.
