Martin O'Neill has included former Tottenham striker Robbie Keane in the Republic of Ireland's final 23-man squad for Euro 2016 despite the forward being injured.

O'Neill named the Republic of Ireland team that will travel to compete in this summer's European Championships in France on Tuesday night, shortly after his side's 2-1 friendly loss against Belarus in Cork.

Keane - who, at 35 and now playing for LA Galaxy, is the Republic of Ireland's all-time leading scorer in his 143 appearances for the nation - missed the game with Belarus because of a calf injury sustained in training on Saturday morning, while he did not feature in the team's 1-1 draw with the Netherlands on Friday.

O'Neill had earlier suffered a huge setback when Bournemouth's Harry Arter was ruled out of Euro 2016 with a thigh injury he suffered in training.
