Healy fit for England clash
Northern Ireland striker David Healy has been declared fit for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against England at Windsor Park.
The Leeds United player was taken off during Saturday's 2-0 win against Azerbajian as a precautionary measure due to a slight thigh strain.
Northern Ireland Manager Lawrie Sanchez is likely to stick with the same side that ended a run of no wins in four years of competitive football at the weekend.
England coach Sven Goran Eriksson, meanwhile, is expected to recall Newcastle United striker Michael Owen following Saturday's unconvincing 1-0 win against Wales at the Millennium Stadium.
Owen is likely to partner Wayne Rooney in attack after the Manchester United starlet played as a lone striker against the Welsh. Shaun Wright Phillips looks set to make way for Owen as David Beckham switches to the right-hand side of midfield.
Northern Ireland probable: Taylor, Baird, Hughes, Craigan, Capaldi, Gillespie, Davis, Johnson, Elliott, Healy, Quinn.
England probable: Robinson, Young, Carragher, Ferdinand, A Cole, Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, J Cole, Rooney, Owen.
