Well good news for Switzerland, Roy Keane suffered a broken metatarsal during last Sundays Manchester United game against Liverpool. He will be out for two months, and thus will miss the game in Dublin on the 12th.
I saw it, but honestly don't think it makes that much of a difference. Ireland are not dependent on him and can play well without him. We have to focus on ourselves above all. Ireland is a good side, but we are definitely capable of getting a result in Dublin. With or without Roy Keane is a secondary thought in my mind.
