Northern Ireland boss Ian Baraclough insists none of his players will be retiring from international football.

The international future of senior players such as captain Steven Davis, 35, and Jonny Evans, 31, has been debated in the media since last week's Euro play-off defeat by Slovakia.

However, Baraclough is confident of retaining all of his squad for next year's World Cup qualifying campaign.

"Not at all, no," he said when asked if he expects any retirements. "Certainly, everyone that I have spoken to who have been part of the group for the last six, seven, eight years have still got that hunger and desire to be a part of this.

:cry:

Jonny Evans 31

Don't know how Youri is still going! Played a crazy amount of football this year 

Think Youri is our current Danny Drinkwater - a player that wants, almost needs to play every minute of every game. Outside our club, Lionel Messi is the most famous player like this.

To maintain peak fitness, Youri needs to play. Brendan has said as much.

Might be better subbing him when we can than rotating him?

Didn't know Rodgers had said that. Really interesting! 

Tees become such an important player for us that we can't afford him to burnout or get a lengthy injury

That crossed my mind too. 

 

I'd wondered if his physiology means he loses fitness very quickly and as such, needs to play to maintain peak condition and consequently avoid injury
