Damien Duff could be coaxed out of international retirement to return for Republic of Ireland's World Cup qualifying campaign, according to Marco Tardelli, the side's assistant manager.
The Fulham winger called time on his 100-cap career following Ireland's last match of Euro 2012 and vowed never to return for his country.
Tardelli plans to speak to the winger once the matches with Kazakhstan and Oman are out of the way, though, in the hope that he can change the player's mind. The plan is to get Duff back in time for the next qualifier against Germany.
