Watford defender Craig Cathcart has had his Euro 2020 play-offs with Northern Ireland postponed until June due to the coronavirus outbreak.
At a UEFA meeting on Tuesday it was decided that the European Championships would be pushed back a year until June 2021 and as a result the play-offs will take place during the summer when the tournament itself was due to happen.
Northern Ireland will play against Bosnia and Herzegovina in their play-off semi-final, to set up a final clash with either the Republic of Ireland or Slovakia.
Cathcart is just four appearances away from collecting his 50th Northern Ireland cap and has scored twice at international level.
