KEANE KEEN TO PLAY

Last updated : 21 December 2003 By Editor

"Like every player, we would all like to play in every match, but you have got to look at the bigger picture and take into consideration the injuries I've had."

"The manager has got a lot of experience and I just have to accept it. Sometimes you feel you can play in every match but again the manager has the experience. He's been on this road before.

"Of course when you do come back from any long-term injury it does take a few months to get back in the swing of things. But I am feeling good at the moment and hopefully that will continue. I always train hard and try and prepare as well as I can."
