The main man is struggling with an injury

Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill insists that he is not concerned over the fitness of striker Kyle Lafferty.

The Norwich City centre forward limped out of the Green and White Army’s training session on Tuesday, after he suffered a strain to his groin just five days before their Euro 2016 opener against Poland.

However, O’Neill is convinced that the Northern Irish medical staff will have the 28-year old fit in plenty of time for that fixture.

“It’s fine, it’s precautionary, we have no major concerns there,” he said.

Lafferty has emerged as the team’s talisman following his seven goals during their successful qualifying campaign.
