Northern Ireland head coach Michael O’Neill has announced his squad for the final two fixtures in League B Group 2 of the current UEFA Nations League campaign.
Northern Ireland currently top Group B2 with eight points from four matches and will face Ukraine at home on Saturday, November 14, before travelling to Budapest to take on Hungary on Tuesday, November 17.
O’Neill has selected a 25-man squad, with Portsmouth striker Eoin Kenny and Manchester United goalkeeper Dermot Mee the two newcomers.
Liverpool winger Kieran Morrison, currently on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, has also been included after making 13 appearances and providing three assists for the League One side this season.
The 19-year-old joined Sheffield Wednesday on a season-long loan from Liverpool. Primarily operating on the right flank, he made his senior debut for the Reds in last October’s Carabao Cup last-16 defeat to Crystal Palace before coming off the bench in the FA Cup victory over Wolves in March.
Morrison enjoyed an impressive campaign with Liverpool’s U21s last season, registering 15 goals and seven assists to earn a nomination for the Premier League 2 Player of the Year award.
He signed a new four-year contract with Liverpool in May before making his senior international debut in Northern Ireland’s friendly victory over Guinea in June. Morrison has been with Liverpool since U14 level and has established himself as a regular for the club’s U21s in recent years.
The Northern Ireland squad for the games against Ukraine and Hungary this month is as follows:
Goalkeepers – Conor Hazard (Wycombe Wanderers), Pierce Charles (Queens Park Rangers, on loan from Manchester City), Dermot Mee (Manchester United).
Defenders – Ciaron Brown and Brodie Spencer (both Oxford United), Paddy McNair (Hull City), Trai Hume (Sunderland), Ruairi McConville (Norwich City), Terry Devlin (Portsmouth), Tom Atcheson (Blackburn Rovers), Michael Forbes (Dundee United).
