Holland and Given miss training

Last updated : 26 March 2005 By Barry Landy
Given has been feeling the effects of a hip injury sustained in training with Newcastle United last week.

He played for the Magpies against Portsmouth on Saturday, but needed a painkilling injection at half-time in the game at Fratton Park.

Holland, on the other hand, is expected to arrive in Dublin on Wednesday after staying behind in London to be with his wife, who required hospital treatment after being involved in an accident.

Nevertheless, Kerr expects to have a full squad to choose from for Saturday’s vital game in Tel-Aviv.
