The two sides will meet in the European qualifiers on Sunday afternoon
Kazakhstan coach Magomed Adiyev offered rival Michael O’Neill some sympathy given Northern Ireland’s mounting injury problems but planned to be less forgiving on the pitch in Sunday’s Euro 2024 qualifier in Astana.
“Our opponent has difficulties with regards to the injured players and I wanted to give a vote of support to the head coach,” he said, through a translator.“It is not a desirable situation, but we have our own problems – we lost our last game on Thursday and we have to fight to do the best we can. Northern Ireland’s 1-0 defeat in the reverse fixture in Belfast in June was arguably the lowest point of this campaign so far – with an 88th-minute sucker punch from Abat Aimbetov delivering a huge blow.
