The 32-year-old chose not to have surgery as that would have ruled him out for the matches against Gibraltar and Georgia.Keogh said: “I went for the X-ray and at first they were talking about surgery.“This was before I spoke to the hand surgeon and I didn’t particularly want to do that, I wanted to get his opinion first before I did anything.

“When I spoke to him, I just said, ‘Listen, if there’s a chance of me playing, I just want to carry on playing if that’s at all possible. I don’t want to have surgery’. I’d rather just take the risk, I suppose, and just crack on.“He saw the X-ray and said, ‘I think we can do that’. If it hadn’t been the middle of my finger where it’s protected by the other two, I think I might have had to have surgery and been out for bit.“But fingers crossed, with this now, I can just resume training, playing and carry on, so it worked out well in the end.” If selected, Keogh will wear a protective cast, insisting he has not taken any risks by declaring himself available.He said: “I had a good conversation with him [the hand surgeon], and he said he’s seen this injury a few times and people have played with it.”
