Kelly and O’Dea join Irish line-up as side for Russia announced

Stephen Kelly will replace John O'Shea at right-back for tomorrow afternoon's crucial Euro 2012 qualifier against Russia in the just-announced Irish line-up.

The Fulham man is not the only addition to the side, as Darren O'Dea will also slot into the side's defence as a replacement for suspended centre-half Sean St Ledger.

Despite rumours to the contrary, Shay Given will start for Trap's men, though there were concerns over the Villa 'keeper's fitness when a back problem kept him out of training yesterday. The partnership of Kevin Doyle and Robbie Keane is also unaltered for the tough away tie, despite suggestions that Simon Cox could be a last-minute replacement for Doyle.

Ireland starting XI v Russia: Shay Given, Stephen Kelly, Richard Dunne, Darren O'Dea, Stephen Ward, Damien Duff, Glenn Whelan, Keith Andrews, Aiden McGeady, Robbie Keane, Kevin Doyle.
