McCarthy unworried after Keane bust-up
|
 Mick McCarthy insists that Roy Keane is 'fine' and team morale is 'brilliant' after the Republic of Ireland captain's extraordinary U-turn following his World Cup walk-out yesterday.
Keane sent shockwaves through the camp when he told manager McCarthy he wanted to go home, citing personal problems and concerns about his troublesome knee as the reasons.
The Manchester United star only changed his mind after Celtic's Colin Healy had been called into the squad as his replacement.
McCarthy was upbeat after his captain and squad trained together at their base in Saipan, saying: 'Roy trained this morning and is absolutely fine. 'He has had a change of heart and I am delighted. He should be playing in the World Cup because he is one of the best players in the world. |

'Roy plays for one of the biggest clubs in the world week in, week out, and I have no worries about him.'
McCarthy rejected suggestions that Keane's walk-out had been connected with yesterday's bust-ups with coaches Pat Bonner and Ian Evans. |
