17/11/2023 Football – Euro 2024 Qualifiers – Finland v Northern Ireland
- Northern Ireland’s Euro 2024 Qualifier: The team is set to face Finland in Helsinki for their penultimate Euro 2024 qualifier.
- Training Challenges: Manager Michael O’Neill had to cancel Monday’s training due to only seven players being fit, a first in his over eight-year tenure.
- Injury Crisis: The squad faces a severe injury crisis, worsening since the loss of Jonny Evans. Other key absentees include Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Paul Smyth, Brad Lyons, and Paddy Lyons.
- Squad Difficulties: The team is already without experienced players like Steven Davis, Stuart Dallas, Corry Evans, Shane Ferguson, Conor Bradley, and Shayne Lavery, along with the retired Craig Cathcart.
- O’Neill’s Approach: Despite the challenges, O’Neill remains philosophical and positive, focusing on the younger players’ development and motivation.
- Past Success Contrast: This situation contrasts sharply with the team’s previous success, like qualifying for the Euro 2016 finals.
- Current Campaign Struggles: The team has struggled in the current campaign, with only two wins against San Marino and six losses in eight matches.
- Upcoming Matches: After Finland, Northern Ireland will host Denmark in Belfast, with O’Neill emphasizing the importance of commitment in every game.
- Message to Players: O’Neill stresses the value of international experience, urging players to cherish every opportunity.
17/11/2023 Football – Euro 2024 Qualifiers – Finland v Northern Ireland
- Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Euro 2024 Ambitions: The Liverpool right-back, now 25, is aiming to play a significant role in England’s midfield during Euro 2024.
- Position Shift for England: Alexander-Arnold, traditionally a right-back, is now listed as a midfielder for England and is expected to play in this role against Malta at Wembley.
- Previous Major Tournament Experience: His major tournament appearances so far have been limited to final group matches in the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
- England’s Qualification Status: England has already secured their spot in the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.
- Alexander-Arnold’s Caps for England: Despite his club success, he has only earned 21 caps for England, partly due to Gareth Southgate’s abundance of right-back options.
- Midfield Role Excitement: Alexander-Arnold expressed excitement about his new midfield opportunity, a position he’s still adapting to.
- Southgate’s Strategy: England needs to finish top of their group to be top seeds at Euro 2024. Southgate emphasizes maintaining high standards in training and winning games.
- Left-Back Position Challenges: With injuries to Luke Shaw and Ben Chilwell, Southgate is considering alternative options, including using centre-backs in the left-back position.
- Tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton: England will pay tribute to the late Sir Bobby Charlton at Wembley, with a crowd mosaic, a video celebrating his life, and players wearing black armbands.
