Irish trio set to miss Italy tie

6 October 2009 19:45

Damien Duff, Darron Gibson and Steven Reid are set to miss out Republic of Ireland's qualifier game against Italy at Croke Park.

Republic of Ireland have ruled Damien Duff, Darron Gibson and Steven Reid out of their plans for Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Italy.

Injuries have accounted for the trio, with Fulham winger Duff suffering a calf problem, Manchester United midfielder Gibson sidelined by groin trouble and Blackburn star Reid forced out with an Achilles blow.

Striker Caleb Folan had already been declared unavailable due to a hamstring injury.

The unbeaten Republic take on Group Eight leaders Italy at Croke Park knowing a victory would move them to within one point of top spot, with one round of matches remaining. Italy will secure their place in next year's finals if they avoid defeat.
