Norwich left-back Jamal Lewis has withdrawn from the Northern Ireland squad for their upcoming matches with a knee injury.

The 21-year old picked up the problem during Saturday's 5-1 defeat to Aston Villa at Carrow Road.

Norwich say their medical team will assess him over the course of the international break, meaning he will miss his country's European Qualifier against the Netherlands and the friendly against the Czech Republic.
