VIDEO: O'Shea sets Fletcher friendship aside

John O’Shea will not allow friendship to get in the way of precious Euro 2016 qualifying points as he prepares to lock horns with Sunderland team-mate Steven Fletcher.

The pair come up against each other every day on the training pitch at the Academy of Light but will go head-to-head on Saturday with O’Shea wearing the green of the Republic of Ireland and Fletcher in the blue of Scotland, with a trip to France next summer the only focus.
