Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill will be without key midfield duo Shea Charles and Ali McCann for this month's 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Slovakia and Luxembourg.
Southampton midfielder Charles misses out with a hamstring injury, while McCann fractured his arm in action for Preston North End last month.
Charles' younger brother, Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles, is also absent with the shoulder problem that has kept him out of Northern Ireland's past four games.
Oxford United defender Brodie Spencer is another absentee in a squad that sees uncapped Barnsley midfielder Patrick Kelly promoted from the under-21s.
The former West Ham player, who moved to Oakwell in the summer, has previously played 12 times for the under-21s.
Northern Ireland are third in Group A, three points behind leaders Germany and second-place Slovakia with two games remaining.
They face Slovakia in Kosice on 14 November before concluding their campaign at home to Luxembourg three days later.
Swansea midfielder Ethan Galbraith is in the squad but will be suspended for the first game of the double-header.
