George McCartney and Keith Gillespie are set to be fit for Northern Ireland's clash with Czech Republic. The duo took part in training on Tuesday after suffering knocks in last weekend's defeat to Slovakia. Sunderland defender McCartney has been struggling with a hamstring problem, while Sheffield United winger Keith Gillespie is nursing an ankle injury. Northern Ireland boss Nigel Worthington was delighted to see the pair return to training and he has no other injury worries to contend with ahead of the clash at Windsor Park. "George trained very well and Keith also joined in," said Worthington. "He has got some energy back after the exertions of the weekend. I am glad to say we have a clean bill of health."
