Last updated : 29 May 2013 By Covsupport News Service

Two former Coventry City players starting the England versus Republic Of Ireland friendly at Wembley Stadium.

A game, attended by a good number of City supporters, saw former City player Robbie Keane start for Ireland whilst former City youngster Danny Sturridge, now at Liverpool, started but had to be replaced in the 32nd minute due to a knee injury.

Shane Long headed Giovanni Trappatoni's side ahead in the 13th minute but Chelsea's Frank Lampard levelled ten minutes later in a match which finished 1-1.

Keane went off in the 65th minute whilst former Coventry City players Keiren Westwood and Richard Keogh were left on the bench for Ireland.
