LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane moved one step closer to being named for the Republic of Ireland’s squad for Euro 2016 after he was selected to the nation’s provisional roster for the tournament.
Keane is among 35-players chosen to head coach Martin O’Neill’s provisional roster for the tournament which will also serve as the squad for a friendly against the Netherlands on May 27 in Dublin. Speaking to reporters after his announcement, O’Neill stated that he was encouraged with the way Keane has recovered from knee surgery earlier this year.
The 35-year-old striker has four goals and one assist in five appearances for the Galaxy this season.
