Northern Ireland and West Brom utility man Chris Brunt could reportedly miss Euro 2016 having picked up a knee injury against Crystal Palace at The Hawthorns.

Northern Ireland midfielder Chris Brunt could reportedly miss this summer's European Championship in France after picking up a knee injury during West Bromwich Albion's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The 31-year-old was stretchered off just before half time in his side's 3-2 victory at The Hawthorns having appeared to catch his studs awkwardly in the turf.

Brunt is expected to find out the extent of the injury on Tuesday, although there are concerns that he could have done serious damage to his ligaments.

Such an injury would be likely to rule Brunt out of Euro 2016, which will be Northern Ireland's first appearance in a major competition since the 1986 World Cup.

Michael O'Neill's side have been drawn in Group C of the tournament alongside Ukraine, Poland and Germany, with their first match coming against Poland on Sunday, June 12.
