Robbie Keane out of Germany game.

With the presumption that Ireland will play 4-5-1 against Germany tomorrow night, is Robbie Keane being out injured a good thing? He is not a player suited to playing up front on his own.

So who will we see in the lone striker role, the energetic Shane Long, the robust Jonathan Walters or even Simon Cox?

Robbie Keane has been ruled out of the Germany game with an Achilles injury. Will hopefully be fit for Faroes. #IRLGER
