Rapids forward Doyle leaves Ireland friendly on stretcher

The forward had to come out of Ireland's friendly an could be set for time out.

The Colorado Rapids could be facing a period without Kevin Doyle after the forward left Ireland's friendly against Switzerland with an apparent ankle injury.

Doyle started the match with hopes of impressing and earning a spot on Ireland's side for this summer's European Championships. After just 22 minutes of play, those chances took a significant hit when he was taken down by Timm Klose. Doyle signaled to the bench that he needed to leave the match and was taken off the pitch on a stretcher.
