Jonny Evans will travel to San Marino despite ongoing interest from Manchester City after arriving at Manchester Airport along with the rest of the Northern Ireland squad on Thursday morning.
Michael O'Neill's side take on the minnows of international football in a World Cup qualifier on Friday evening but fly to the microstate with Evans' future still up in the air.

Pep Guardiola remains in the driving seat to sign Evans despite late interest from Arsenal
Evans has already rejected a move to Arsenal in favour of linking up with Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium while Leicester City have also tried and failed to agree a £23million deal with the Baggies.
Guardiola wants Evans as a fourth-choice option and sees his ability as a left-footed defender and vast Premier League experience as a compliment to his current options.
Coincidentally, Evans and the Northern Ireland squad have been training at Manchester City's headquarters this week.
