SUNDERLAND striker Will Grigg has been ruled out of Northern Ireland's Euro 2020 qualifiers against Estonia and Belarus.
The 27-year-old has returned to Wearside and will miss the matches at Windsor Park on Thursday and Sunday. It is hoped he will recover in time for Wembley.
Grigg, capped 13 times by Northern Ireland, has gone back to Sunderland for treatment and it arrived after he was recalled after missing the last three internationals.
Black Cats boss Jack Ross will now look to ensure the former Wigan man is fit to face Portsmouth at Wembley in the Checkatrade Trophy on March 31.
It is not clear what the injury is at this stage.
