Davis is currently player-manager at Rangers and his Northern Ireland boss insists it is not possible to do a dual role.
Northern Ireland boss Michael O’Neill said Steven Davis needs more time to decide whether to call time on his record-breaking international career.
Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill says Steven Davis could soon have a decision to make on his playing career “So those are all things for Steven and those are discussions which don’t need to happen now, he’s got enough on his plate really in the next three or four days. I’ll get a chat with him over the international break.
O’Neill added: “Steven’s situation as a player is different from the situation that has arisen now as a manager and I’ll get the chance to speak with him about that in due course. Midfielders Brad Lyons and Paddy Lane , defenders Eoin Toal and Brodie Spencer and QPR winger Paul Smyth have all retained their places in the squad.
