Your support makes all the difference.The Sunderland midfielder Colin Healy is out of the Republic of Ireland team for today's friendly with Canada.
Healy was hoping to win his 13th cap at Lansdowne Road, but instead was back on Wearside yesterday for treatment on a foot injury sustained in training. He joined his club team-mate Gary Breen on the casualty list. Breen had to pull out of the squad with a knee problem after last weekend's 0-0 draw with Coventry.
The Republic's manager, Brian Kerr, said his players were not affected by Sunday'sarmed raid on their hotel. Kerr praised the reaction of staff to the incident, which occurred at the Portmarnock Golf and Country Club near Dublin around 6.30pm. Masked robbers burst into the foyer and escaped with an estimated £600, firing one gunshot into the ceiling.
