Jonny Evans is back in the Northern Ireland squad for next weeks Euro 2024 qualifiers but Michael ONeill will once again be relying on youth with a long list of senior players still injured.
Evans out of contract at relegated Leicester this summer was unable to add to his 100 caps in March when he was forced to pull out of ONeills first games back in charge of the national team due to a hamstring injury, but is in a 28-man squad to play Denmark away and Kazakhstan at home.
But with Steven Davis, Stuart Dallas, Corry Evans, Liam Boyce, Josh Magennis, Conor Washington and Shane Ferguson all still sidelined, ONeill has included five uncapped players, with 15 of the 28 having fewer than 10 caps.
