Corry Evans and Craig Cathcart named in Northern Ireland squad to face Norway

Corry Evans has been included in a Northern Ireland squad that has also been boosted by Craig Cathcart’s return for the home World Cup qualifier with Norway later this month. Midfielder Evans has not played in over two months with his ongoing groin issue but his club Blackburn are fine with his selection, while Watford defender Cathcart is available for the first time since the summer’s European Championships having battled his own injury problems.
