Leicester veteran Evans to make Northern Ireland Euro 2020 play-off

Leicester City defender Jonny Evans is expected to be fit for Northern Ireland's Euro 2020 play-off final with Slovakia after missing Leicester City's last two games with a back injury.

Evans is included in manager Ian Baraclough's 26-man squad for the key match at Windsor Park on 12 November.

NI also play Austria and Romania in the Nations League in a triple-header.

Conor Hazard, Man United midfielder Ethan Galbraith and St Johnstone's Matthew Kennedy receive call-ups.

Celtic goalkeeper Hazard replaces Motherwell stopper Trevor Carson, who was injured in a league match at the end of October and will be out of action until early next year.
