Conor Washington has warned Bosnia and Herzegovina they will be facing a “wounded animal” when Northern Ireland travel to Sarajevo for Thursday’s Euro 2020 qualifying play-off semi-final.

Ian Baraclough’s side are coming off a 5-1 hiding at home to Norway last month, while they have unhappy memories of facing the Bosnians two years ago when they suffered home and away defeats despite dominating at Windsor Park and hitting the post twice on the road.
