Duff to miss Armenia match

31 August 2010-PA Sport

Damien Duff has been ruled out of the Republic of Ireland's European Championship qualifier in Armenia on Friday (Saturday morning AEST) through injury.

The 31-year-old Fulham winger has withdrawn because of a calf problem picked up during last weekend's 2-2 Premier League draw at Blackpool.

Duff, who has 84 senior international caps, will be assessed by his club and could yet join up with the squad for the home clash with Andorra next week.

He joins Blackburn midfielder Keith Andrews, who has a groin injury, on the sidelines for the start of the Republic's qualifying campaign.
