Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans will miss Thursday's crunch Euro 2016 qualifier against Greece, but could yet feature against Finland.

The West Brom centre-half suffered a hamstring injury at the weekend and has not yet travelled to Belfast.

He will make the journey ahead of the Greece clash, where victory will be enough to secure a place at Euro 2016, and should his country still need a result in Helsinki he will be assessed.

"Jonny will join the squad tomorrow with a view to Sunday," confirmed manager Michael O'Neill.

"West Brom have been excellent in terms of co-operation on that. We always felt tomorrow night would be too soon but he hasn't ruled out Sunday, neither have we and neither have the club."
