Robbie Keane has pulled out of Ireland's friendly against Brazil
with a knee injury.
The striker, who is on loan to Celtic from Tottenham until
the end of the season, played the full 90 minutes of Sunday's
Scottish Premier League 1-0 loss to Rangers.
But the Football Association of Ireland issued a statement
Sunday that he had withdrawn from Tuesday's game at Arsenal's
Emirates Stadium and would be replaced in the squad by Hibernian's
Anthony Stokes.
