Robbie Keane has announced that the Republic of Ireland’s friendly against Oman in Dublin on August 31 will be his last international appearance for his country.
Earlier on Wednesday Keane was named in the Republic’s squad for the Oman game and the opening World Cup qualifier against Serbia on September 5, the BBC reports.
However, the ex-Spurs striker later released a statement confirming his impending international retirement.
Keane, 36, has scored a record 67 goals for the Republic in 145 appearances.
The LA Galaxy striker was a late substitute in the Republic’s Euro 2016 games against Sweden and Belgium but is no longer a regular starter for Martin O’Neill’s side.
