Ceadach O’Neill has withdrawn from the Northern Ireland senior men’s squad due to injury.
Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill had selected a 25-strong squad for this month’s UEFA Nations League fixtures against Ukraine and Hungary.
Northern Ireland, who currently top Group B2 with eight points from four matches, host Ukraine at the Clearer Twist National Stadium at Windsor Park on Saturday 14 November before travelling to Budapest to face Hungary on Tuesday 17 November.
Michael O’Neill said:
“We’re naturally disappointed to be without Ceadach for the final two games of the campaign. He has been a great asset to the squad in the last international window and everyone here wishes him a swift recovery.
“The wider squad and staff are looking forward to the two games ahead. We’re in a good position in the group and there is plenty to play for.
“The Ukraine game in Belfast will be an important one for us, before we travel to Hungary for another challenging fixture. We’ll be looking to build on the work we’ve done so far and finish the campaign strongly.”
