Northern Ireland will be without centre-back Jonny Evans for their Euro 2016 qualifier against Greece, which could assure them of a place at next year's finals.

Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans has been ruled out of Thursday's crucial Euro 2016 qualifier against Greece.

The West Bromwich Albion centre-back suffered a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace on Saturday and has not yet travelled to Belfast to join up with his fellow countrymen.

According to PA, Evans will miss tomorrow's match against Greece but will fly out and could be available for their final qualifier in Finland on Sunday.

Evans's involvement in the second match could depend on whether Michael O'Neill's side secure their place at next year's tournament in France by seeing off Greece.

NI are top of Group F with five wins out of eight and victory over Greece, who are bottom without a win, would assure them of a place in the finals for the first time ever.
