Last updated 29th Mar 2022
Northern Ireland take on Hungary tonight (Tuesday) at the National Stadium at Windsor Park - aiming for their second friendly win in four days.
On Saturday, Ian Baraclough's side beat Luxembourg 3-1 with skipper Steven Davis bagging one of the goals on his return to the side.
The 37-year-old record-caps holder, is set to start against Hungary in front of a sold-out Windsor and, in turn, make his 134th appearance in a green and white shirt.
Speaking to Downtown Radio & Cool FM, he said it was great to be back.
"It's great to be back," he said.
"I've had a couple of injuries from the New Year so this week's been really important for me - and it was great to get some game time against Luxembouurg.
"I am really looking forward to tonight.
"It is important for me to build on my match sharpness and match fitness - you can't replicate that no matter how much training you do."
Meanwhile, keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell and midfielder Paddy McNair return to the squad after missing the game on Saturday.
