Robbie Keane scored again as the LA Galaxy qualified for the MLS Cup final despite losing 2-1 to the Seattle Sounders in the second leg of the Western Conference final on Sunday.

Keane is likely to see a return to the Premier League on loan when the MLS season draws to a close this weekend.

Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni confirmed, “I spoke with him about this situation after the game in the Faroe Islands when I told him I would look at other players for the friendly games.

 “I said, ‘You have the opportunity, it’s up to you what you want to do.’ It would be good if he didn’t go three months without football but he did say his club were likely to go on tour in Asia.”
