Keith Fahey hoping for Republic of Ireland start

Keith Fahey hopes that he will be picked to start for the Republic of Ireland against Germany on Friday.

Republic of Ireland midfielder Keith Fahey is hoping to put a difficult spell behind him and start for his country against Germany on Friday.

The 29-year-old, who has 15 caps to his name, missed out on Euro 2012 in the summer with a persistent groin problem.

However, Fahey is hoping that he can take the third spot in Ireland's new-look midfield along with Keith Andrews and James McCarthy.

"To be honest, I have missed nearly a year now since I last played with injuries and I am desperate to play, I am desperate to play for Ireland," said Fahey. "I am not one who comes and expects to sit on the bench every game, I want to play.

"If I have to do better in training or whatever, I am willing to do it. I want to play, I want to get more caps under my belt, I want to do well. I want to wear the green shirt.

"In the summer, I dropped out and someone else came in. In football, someone's loss is someone else's gain, so maybe there will be opportunities for lads to step in and get a chance to play. Playing three against the quality of Germany is going to help the team be more solid."

Ireland host Germany in a World Cup qualifying match in Dublin on Friday.
