PARIS (Reuters) - Kyle Lafferty has returned to Northern Ireland's starting lineup for their Euro 2016 last-16 game against an unchanged Wales team at the Parc des Princes on Saturday.

Lafferty, Northern Ireland's top scorer in qualifying with seven goals, starts as a lone forward in place of Conor Washington, who drops to the bench, in the only change made by either manager for the clash between the two British sides.
