Last updated : 27 May 2009 By Covsupport News Service
Coventry City duo Keiren Westwood and Leon Best are both likely to feature for the Republic Of Ireland against Nigeria in a friendly on Friday night.

Manchester City keeper Shay Given has been pulled out of the game at Craven Cottage and Giovanni Trapattoni told the Press Association: "Shay Given has a knock. I already said that we will see Westwood in this game so Shay will rest."



Leon Best is also likely to feature. The City striker looks set to replace Caleb Folan who has a knee injury and Trapattoni said: "Caleb will be okay after the rest, and on Monday he will be with us. "I also have Leon Best. He is a different player but he is a similar build and can play that way."



You can see the game live on Setanta Sports. Kick Off is at 8pm.
