Republic of Ireland midfielder Liam Miller could be ruled out of his country's World Cup play-off clash with France.

The 27-year-old has undergone a scan on a calf-injury and will find out the results later today -  if he is unable to take his place in the squad he will be sent back to his club Hibernian.

However, Miller is manager Giovanni Trapattoni's only injury worry and if he is ruled out, the Italian will not call up a replacement.

Damien Duff is fully recovered from his latest fitness problem, an Achilles injury, and trained with his team-mates at Malahide today.
