Jonny Evans has been called up to a Northern Ireland training camp before their UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying campaign continues next month.

The Leicester City defender will link up with his team-mates in Manchester over the next three days, fresh from his first campaign at the King Power Stadium.

Michael O'Neill's side travel to Tallinn to take on Estonia on Saturday June 8 (5pm BST), before an away clash with Belarus on Tuesday June 11 (7.45pm BST).

They currently sit top of group C after two matches, having beaten Belarus and Estonia in back-to-back home games at Windsor Park in March.

A similar camp will take place next week, before O'Neill names his squad for the upcoming qualifying matches.

Evans will be vying with Paddy McNair, Conor McLaughlin, Daniel Ballard and Ryan McLaughlin for a place in the starting lineup for the pair of qualifiers.

The 31-year-old impressed under Brendan Rodgers toward the latter stages of the campaign when the new boss came in in February.

He made 24 Premier League appearances in total after joining from West Bromwich Albion in the summer, starting all-but-two of the matches under Rodgers since his arrival on March 3.

The full squad for Northern Ireland's first training camp in Manchester is:

Goalkeepers - Michael McGovern (Norwich City), Trevor Carson (Motherwell), Conor Hazard (Celtic);

Defenders – Paddy McNair (Middlesbrough), Conor McLaughlin (unattached), Daniel Ballard (Arsenal), Ryan McLaughlin (Rochdale), Jonny Evans (Leicester City) .

Midfielders – George Saville (Middlesbrough), Mark Sykes (Oxford United), Gavin Whyte (Oxford United), Jordan Thompson (Blackpool), Shane Ferguson (Millwall), Corry Evans (Blackburn Rovers).

Forwards – Conor Washington (unattached), Josh Magennis (Bolton Wanderers), Liam Boyce (Burton Albion), Paul Smyth (QPR), Kyle Lafferty (Rangers), Kyle Vassell (Rotherham United).
