Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given declares himself fit for Euro 2012.

Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given has insisted that he will be fit for the start of Euro 2012.

The 36-year-old has been suffering with a knee problem in recent weeks, and was not selected for last week's friendly against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

However, the Aston Villa stopper has stated that he will make the tournament.

"I just hurt my knee in training on Monday and had a bit of a reaction, that was all. If the Euros had started on Saturday I think I could have played, so I'm not worried," Given told reporters.

"Obviously I'd love to be training every day and have been playing because I don't like missing any games, but sometimes you have to listen to your body.

"I hadn't trained, but I would have played. The specialist and the doctor felt it was just better to rest it for a few more days and then I'll be 100 percent."

Euro 2012 begins on June 8.
