Robbie Keane and Jonathan Walters will return to training next week as they continue to recover from injuries ahead of Euro 2016.

Keane is still a doubt to feature in the opening game against Sweden on Monday June 13th as he nurses a calf strain.

Walters has sat out the last few sessions with an Achilles injury but has worked with FAI medical staff and is almost back to full fitness.

With no other injuries reported the team will leave for France on Wednesday where they will stay in the Trianon Palace in Versailles for the tournament.
