DUFF PULLS OUT OF BRAZIL GAME
Sunday 15th February 2004
Chelsea star Damien Duff has pulled out of Republic of Ireland's
squad to face Brazil at Lansdowne Road on Wednesday.
The former Blackburn man has been struggling with an Achilles
strain and missed his side's FA Cup exit at the hands of Arsenal on
Sunday.
Duff's absence will be a blow to boss Brian Kerr as Duff is one of
the few Irishman with the capabilities to match the Samba stars for
skill, dribbling and flair.
Ideally Kerr would like to have seen Duff and Tottenham hit-man
Robbie Keane up against the World Cup holders to exploit a notoriously
suspect defence, but instead the mecurial forward's talents will be
sorely missed.
