NORTHERN IRELAND

Youngster Ethan Galbraith has had previous senior experience with his country but he has been promoted from the Under-21s for the crucial European Championship play-off with Slovakia on 12 November. 

While all eyes are on that game and a chance to reach the finals, there is also a trip to Austria (15 November) and home game with Romania (18 November) to look forward to.

Homegrown product Galbraith was outstanding in the Premier League 2 win over Everton last time out, scoring an injury-time winner from the penalty spot, and is expected to feature in Friday’s Under-23s clash at Brighton & Hove Albion, live on MUTV.
