Coleman back in starting line-up for Ireland

Posted by

Seamus Coleman returned to the Republic of Ireland starting line-up for tonight’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Georgia.

The Everton full-back, who missed Friday night’s 4-0 Group D victory over Gibraltar with a tight hamstring, returned at the expense of Cyrus Christie in the only change to a team once again captained by striker Robbie Keane as he went in search of his 68th senior international goal.

Georgia coach Kakhaber Tskhadadze, celebrating his 47th birthday, made just one enforced change to the side which beat Scotland 1-0 in Tbilisi with defender Zurab Khizanishvili replacing injured midfielder Jano Ananidze.
