Surgery to sideline Keogh
08 Nov 2007 - 07:03:48
Wolves striker Andy Keogh will have a minor groin operation next week that will cause him to miss the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2008 qualifier against Wales.
The former Scunthorpe United star has been omitted from the Republic squad by caretaker manager Don Givens, as have Wolves team-mates Darren Potter and Kevin Foley.
The 21-year-old told the club's official website: "I think the gaffer (Mick McCarthy) had a word with the Irish people to let them know I wouldn't be available for selection.
"I need a minor operation and the club thought the international break was the perfect time to get it done."
