Paddy Madden, Andy Keogh get Republic of Ireland calls

Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has called Yeovil Town striker Paddy Madden into his squad for Wednesday's friendly against Wales.

Madden gets a maiden international call after scoring 14 goals for Yeovil last season, helping the Glovers earn promotion to the Championship.

The 23-year-old was placed on a standby list for the international last week, but will now join up with Trapattoni's senior squad on Monday.

Millwall forward Andy Keogh has also earned a belated call for the Irish as he bids to win his 30th international cap.

The late inclusions come after Leicester City defender Sean St Ledger withdrew from the squad earlier this evening after picking up a knee injury in training.
