 Trapattoni picks strongest team

Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni has picked his strongest available team for Saturday night's Euro 2012 clash with Andorra.

Darren O'Dea will partner Sean St Ledger in central defence as Richard Dunne serves a one-match ban, while Glenn Whelan will continue in midfield despite heading into the tie at the Estadi Comunale on a yellow card.

Skipper Robbie Keane will join forces with Kevin Doyle in attack, with Trapattoni confident the Wolves man has regained his match-sharpness following his recovery from a knee injury.

Ireland team: Shay Given; John O'Shea, Sean St Ledger, Darren O'Dea, Stephen Ward; Damien Duff, Glenn Whelan, Keith Andrews, Aiden McGeady; Kevin Doyle, Robbie Keane (capt).
