""The training base is in Liverpool, so it is convenient for Conor to drop in and see us,""
""I'll speak to him and have been speaking to him, that's something for closer to the time and for his club to decide if it is right.""

Conor Bradley underwent surgery on a knee injury and will miss the rest of the season, ruling him out of immediate selection. Northern Ireland face Italy in a 26 March semi-final, with a potential final against Wales or Bosnia-Herzegovina for a World Cup spot.

O'Neill called the loss a "huge blow" but believes the squad has depth at right-back, naming Trai Hume, Brodie Spencer and Terry Devlin as options.
