DUBLIN: Ireland’s European Championship hopes received a timely boost when midfielder James McCarthy declared himself fit for their opening game against Sweden on June 13.

McCarthy has now returned to training after missing Ireland’s warm-up games against Netherlands and Belarus. “It’s hamstring, groin injuries. I should be fine (for Sweden),” he told British media.
