Ceadach O'Neill misses NI's final two Nations League games
The 18-year-old Arsenal forward is ruled out of the closing games against Ukraine in Belfast and Hungary in Budapest.
Ceadach O'Neill, Arsenal forward aged 18, has withdrawn from the Northern Ireland squad through injury and will miss the final two Nations League games: Ukraine in Belfast on Saturday 14 November and Hungary in Budapest on Tuesday 17 November. According to BBC Sport, he has four caps, having won his first against Guinea in June.
Manager Michael O'Neill said the squad were disappointed to lose him and wished him a swift recovery. Sunderland defender Dan Ballard is also out injured, while Liverpool's Conor Bradley remains a long-term absentee, without a game since January.
Northern Ireland are the only side in the competition yet to concede a goal, and they top their group with eight points from four matches, and could earn promotion to the top tier for the first time.
