Northern Ireland have suffered a blow ahead of Thursday’s Euro 2020 qualifying play-off final against Slovakia with Corry Evans being ruled out through injury.
Blackburn said the 30-year-old would be withdrawn from the Northern Ireland squad after pulling up early in their 3-1 win over QPR on Saturday afternoon.
Tony Mowbray indicated Evans could now face an extended period out – a fresh blow for a player who missed much of the second half of last season with a horror facial injury suffered in January.
“I think you can see that Corry has damaged his hamstring early on and that’s a loss from the squad,” Mowbray said.
“We’re going to get him scanned.
“I think he’s obviously upset because he had a massive game for Northern Ireland, but now he obviously can’t go because it doesn’t look a minor hamstring injury.”
