Evans Risks Fergie Fury

Jonny Evans could be heading for trouble with his Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson after putting country before club.

The Daily Star reports that Evans has told Northern Ireland manager Nigel Worthington he will be available for his country’s two most important games in a quarter of a century.

He needs an operation on a troublesome ankle but has put the hospital visit on ice until after he plays in two vital World Cup qualifying games against Poland on Saturday and Slovakia next ­Wednesday at Windsor Park.

The ankle injury has dogged him for the last nine months and forced him to miss last weekend’s victory over Arsenal.

If Evans, 21, aggravates it while playing for the Irish, it could hamper United who currently have ­injured Rio Ferdinand sidelined.

But Evans, who is with the Northern Ireland squad in Belfast, is desperate to help push them into the World Cup finals.

They are currently ­second in Group Three, two points behind leaders Slovakia.

Boss Worthington said: “Jonny called me to say that he needs to have an operation. But he wants to try to battle through the next two internationals and see how he copes with that.

“It’s great news for me and the squad that Jonny wants to keep going and make himself available for the games and he ­recognises the ­importance of the games.”
