Manchester United defender Paddy McNair has finally returned home from Helsinki after spending three nights in hospital.
McNair was injured in Northern Ireland's final Euro 2016 qualifier, a 1-1 draw against Finland, coming off early in the second half.
The 20-year-old, making just his second competitive international start, suffered bruised ribs and an abdominal injury while there were also concerns he might have damaged his liver.
While his team-mates flew home following on Monday, McNair was kept in hospital for assessment for two further nights with Irish FA doctor David White in attendance.
