Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Darren Randolph could be replaced by Keiren Westwood for World Cup qualifier against Austria

West Ham goalkeeper Darren Randolph's place in the Republic of Ireland team is under threat from Sheffield Wednesday's Keiren Westwood heading into this weekend's World Cup qualifier against Austria.

Randolph has been his country's No 1 for the best part of 18 months now and has deserved his prolonged stay in the side.

However, he was at fault for Uruguay's equaliser during Sunday night's 3-1 friendly win in Dublin and was replaced by Westwood at half-time.

The understudy impressed in the second half - he pulled off one flying save with the score at 1-1 - and manager Martin O'Neill admits he has a decision to make ahead of Sunday's game at the Aviva Stadium.
