Lets hope not, but here is an article from InsideIreland.ie:
Republic of Ireland defender John O’Shea could miss out on the EURO 2012 tournament through injury.
The 31-year-old defender aggravated a calf injury late in the first half of Sunderland’s 1-0 Barclays Premier League defeat by Manchester United, and manager Martin O’Neill later admitted he could be a doubt for Poland and Ukraine.
“John didn’t feel comfortable. He has come back and he was starting to feel his injury, so he just didn’t feel confident at all about moving on it.
“As he came off, that was my thought, that there might be a concern about it.
“I haven’t had a chance to check with the physios since that. Maybe I am jumping the gun, but it might be a concern," said O’Neil.
O’Shea and the rest of Trapattoni’s Premier League-based players are due to meet up in Malahide next Sunday to begin their preparations for the tournament.

My fear is not the loss of O Shea but is replacement who could be McShane and the faith Trap has in these very average back up players while there are better back up players around such as Wilson or Clark

Here's an update:
JOHN O’SHEA is expected to be able to report for training next Monday as scheduled after a scan on a calf injury sustained in yesterday’s game against Manchester United revealed that the problem was less serious than initially feared.
It is amazing that McShane would be considered first choice replacement over Wilson and Clark!

Big John knew the craic, got himself off early before any real damage was done.

Who cares? We have Paul ‘McGrath’ McShane waiting in the wings……he’s just as good!!

McShane's skillful run and pass to set up Keane's goal in the Scotland match was amazing.......but then again, he usually just does this:

Thats true actually Dublondain. He played well in the Carling Nations cup matches against Scotland the North. Think that says more about the opposition than Mc Shane

John O'Shea acted like a good professional and took care of himself. Could be his last hurrah.
