Kyle Lafferty has declared himself fit for Northern Irelands Euro 2016 opener after returning to training on Friday morning. The 28-year-old looked to be struggling for Sundays fixture against Poland in Nice after limping out of a morning workout on Tuesday with a groin problem.The injury limited him to work on a bike machine the following day before undergoing scans to determine the severity of the problem. However, having received positive news on the scan on Wednesday, the Norwich City forward was given the green light to resume training with the remainder of the squad at their Saint-Georges-de-Reneins base.And during a resistance-band exercise, he mimicked a prancing horse - much to the amusement of his colleagues - before insisting he would be fine for the Polish test lying in wait on the French Riviera.
