DJ Misses Poland Clash

Last updated : 29 March 2005 By Brian Cartlidge

The Blues midfielder was booked for deliberately kicking the ball away after the award of a free kick five minutes into the second half of Northern Ireland's 4-0 defeat against England at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

The booking was DJ's second caution of the Group Six qualifiers and he now serves an automatic one game ban which rules him out of Northern Ireland's must-win qualifier against the Poles in Warsaw on Wednesday night.
