In June, Jamie Reid was playing for Northern Ireland against Spain. Later that summer, he was sidelined with a blood clot in his leg.
"In the summer time I did a lot of flying and I just felt a pain in my calf. It ended up being a blood clot," Reid told BBC Sport NI at Northern Ireland's training camp in Manchester.While Reid was able to train, he wasn't allowed to take any contact until he was given the all-clear by the medics. "I haven't really had a pre-season, so it's like I'm playing League One games to get fit, which isn't ideal.
Since the international careers of David Healy and Kyle Lafferty came to an end, Northern Ireland have often struggled for prolific goalscorers.
