Corry Evans of Blackburn Rovers has recently struggled trying to make appearances for his club due to a consistent groin problem which has left him out of the pitch for a significantly long period of time.

Blackburn Rovers head coach Tony Mowbray has revealed his content at the return of defender Corry Evans, who could be fit in time for the new season.
The Rovers will be plying their trade in the third tier of English football for the time in 37 years after they were relegated from the Championship by virtue of goal difference.

The 2016-17 season of the English Championship League has recently reached it´s end and unfortunately for Corry Evans of Blackburn Rovers, this was one of his worst seasons ever.

Relegation would be catastrophic for the club, as it would mean that they have fallen long way away from the days of winning the Premier league in the mid-1990s. The club were relegated from the Premier League at the end of 2011-12 campaign.
Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill is likely to call up Rovers defender Corry Evans for the upcoming World Cup qualifying games.
Due to their indifferent start to the World Cup qualification campaign, Northern Ireland have to be concerned about the possibility of being caught up by Azerbaijan or Czech Republic. The national team are level on points with former, while Czech Republic are only two points behind in the table after having played four games. Catching table leaders Germany now looks extremely unlikely with the reigning world champions opening up a five-point advantage.
