Kenny Shiels’ history-making Northern Ireland team came together last Monday as they step up preparations for their Euro 2022 play-off in April. They will discover their opponents for that two-legged tie on 8th March, as they look to qualify for their first ever major finals.
Before that however, they face England at St. George’s Park and despite their squad being somewhat depleted by both injuries and players’ work-commitments , this spirited bunch are ‘buzzing’ to take on the challenge of coming up against ‘one of the best teams in the world’. It’s an opportunity to bring in younger players, to make further progress as a group and to continue to make a nation proud.
