Northern Ireland goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell has spoken of his relief that he did not suffer a more serious injury after being rushed to hospital following a terrifying collision while on club duty in March.

Playing for Danish side Aarhus, where he is on loan from Burnley, Peacock-Farrell crashed into the knee of Odense’s Bashkim Kadrii in the second half of a Superliga encounter and sustained a broken nose.
