David Healy will be aiming to add to his N Ireland goal tally against England.
By Dean Jones. Tuesday, 22 March 2005.
Northern Ireland coach Lawrie Sanchez has included Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Chris Brunt in his squad to face England - with Stockport's Warren Feeney earning a recall.
Brunt, 20, played nine minutes of Northern Ireland's match against Switzerland last August but his club performances have warranted another
call-up.
And Feeney has earned his first chance to prove himself to Sanchez after playing three times under Sammy McIllroy.
Feeney launched himself onto the international scene in 2002 - but failed to hold down a regular place and will now be looking to make a big impression on his new manager.
Meanwhile Hull star Stuart Elliott returns to the squad after missing the February friendly against Canada with a fractured cheekbone.
The forward has scored 25 goals in League One this season and
will be relishing the prospect of starting against England at Old Trafford on Saturday.
His club manager Peter Taylor said: "Stuart's finishing has been of a consistently high standard.
"I'm sure if he gets a chance he will be confident about taking it."
The same squad will also face Poland after their World Cup qualifier clash with Sven-Goran Eriksson's side.
