Northern Ireland captain Steven Davis has been forced to withdraw from Friday's Euro 2016 qualifier in Romania.
The Southampton midfielder has been battling to prove his fitness since a hamstring injury forced him off in the first half of the Saints' Barclays Premier League win over Leicester last weekend, but has finally admitted defeat.
The team will now travel to Bucharest on Wednesday evening without their inspirational skipper, who has played every game since inheriting the armband almost three years ago.
