=== Kelly ruled out for Ireland ===
 
 Dublin,  Ireland  (Sports Network)  - Ireland defender  Stephen Kelly has been
 ruled  out for the  second leg of his team's Euro 2012 playoff with Estonia on
 Tuesday because of a groin injury.
 
 Kelly  played the full 90 minutes in Ireland's 4-0 win over Estonia on Friday,
 but  assistant manager  Marco Tardelli  confirmed  on Sunday  that the  Fulham
 defender will miss the return leg.
 
 John O'Shea could be fit in time to take Kelly's place after struggling with a
 hamstring  problem,  while Tardelli also  revealed that midfielder Damien Duff
 will be able to take part in the match despite suffering from a rib injury.
