Kyle Lafferty and Chris Brunt return to the Northern Ireland squad for Euro 2012 qualifiers next month.

Kyle Lafferty and Chris Brunt have been named in the Northern Ireland squad to take on Serbia on Estonia next month.

Glasgow Rangers striker Lafferty was absent from the side’s 4-0 Euro 2012 qualifying victory over the Faroe Islands with injury, while West Bromwich Albion’s Brunt was serving a suspension.

However, the pair have now returned along with goalkeeper Maik Taylor and defender Gareth McAuley.

"It is nice to have everyone to pick from," said manager Nigel Worthington.

"The likes of Kyle Lafferty and Chris Brunt coming back into the group, with their stature and ability, is a real plus for the group.

"Kyle has been out for a month since his operation and I am sure Rangers will be managing him carefully.”

Worthington’s men face Serbia at Windsor Park on Friday, September 2 before travelling to Estonia four days later.
