Craig Cathcart has been included in the Northern Ireland squad for upcoming UEFA Nations League (UNL) clashes with Austria and Bosnia & Herzegovina.

The Watford centre-back will be looking to help his country get their UNL campaign back on track after they lost 2-1 to Bosnia in their opening game September.

That defeat, coupled with Bosnia’s 100 per cent record, leaves Northern Ireland second in their group ahead of the two qualifying games.

They play Austria away from home on Friday, 12 October before again heading on their travels to take on Bosnia the following Monday.

Both games kick-off at 7.45pm and will be shown on Sky Sports.
