Nottingham Forest striker Jamie Ward is back in the Northern Ireland squad for their final two Euro 2016 qualifiers against Greece and Finland.

West Brom centre-back Gareth McAuley and Aberdeen winger Niall McGinn are both slight injury concerns for the double header, but hopefully should be fit for the games.

It is unclear who will replace Norwich forward Kyle Lafferty, but all strikers will be closely monitored, so manager Michael O'Neill may start with two up front.

Two points from their final two games will be enough for Northern Ireland to qualify for France next summer.

"I might never have played for England at senior level," said Kilbane. "But that is how I felt at age 16 and 17. That was always going to be my decision."

"He's been nurtured from the FAI and played noty just for the under-21s but at youth level. I'm disappointed, he would have been a great addition to the Ireland squad. It comes down to a personal choice."

Wales head coach Warren Gatland on making just three changes from the win over England: 

"The changes were forced in the backs, and there's an opportunity for that forward pack to play - they weren't all happy with their performances Saturday - and it's also a reward for them. Sometimes you like to give them that opportunity to fix things up."

Wales coach Warren Gatland:

"It's probably the worst run of injuries we've been involved with as as a team, but you can't dwell on it, you just have to plan going forward. I don't think about the loss of players, I plan and prepare for the next match."
