Liam Donnelly named in Northern Ireland squad for European Qualifier | Football News

No place for Kyle Lafferty or Gareth McCauley for friendly against Luxembourg and European Qualifier against Germany

Last Updated: 28/08/19 12:07pm

Liam Donnelly has been named in Northern Ireland’s squad after scoring seven goals in seven games for Motherwell this season

Liam Donnelly has been named in Northern Ireland’s squad for the home friendly against Luxembourg on September 5 and the home European Qualifier against Germany on September 9.

The 23-year-old, who is Northern Ireland’s most capped U21 international, has scored seven goals in as many games for Motherwell this season after moving into midfield from a defensive role.

Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill has recalled Donnelly’s Motherwell team-mate, goalkeeper Trevor Carson, and Ross County defender Callum Morris.

Kyle Lafferty joined Norwegian side Sarpsborg 08 after being released by Rangers last month

There is no place in the 25-man group for striker Kyle Lafferty, who announced on Tuesday that he has joined Norwegian side Sarpsborg 08 after being released by Rangers last month.

Veteran defender Gareth McAuley, who is without a club after leaving Rangers at the end of last season, is also not included in the squad.

O’Neill is also unable to call upon Sheffield United’s Oliver Norwood, after he announced his retirement from international football.

Northern Ireland are top of European Qualifiers Group C, and sit three points ahead of Germany after winning all four of their matches so far.

Rangers thump seven past 10-man Motherwell

Rangers moved to within two points of top spot in the Premiership after they hammered 10-man Motherwell at Ibrox.

Motherwell’s Carl McHugh was sent off for handball in the box with Rangers awarded a penalty, converted by James Tavernier.

Eros Grezda scored his first two goals for Rangers with Scott Arfield also getting a double. Curtis Main cancelled out Rangers opener, but Motherwell’s resistance crumbled with Alredo Morelos and Glenn Middleton also scoring.

For all Rangers woes on the road, it is now a ninth league game at Ibrox without defeat for Steven Gerrard – taking maximum points from eight of them.

Motherwell have now gone 42 league games without managing to beat Rangers.

Lafferty back in Northern Ireland squad after apology

Kyle Lafferty is back in the Northern Ireland squad to face the Republic of Ireland and Austria after apologising for “an error of judgement”.

Lafferty, 31, withdrew from the panel for the Nations League double-header against Austria and Bosnia-Herzegovina last month, citing an Achilles injury.

He informed NI boss Michael O’Neill at midnight the day before the squad met.

The Irish FA subsequently invoked Fifa’s five-day rule[1] which prevented the forward playing the next weekend.

The Rangers striker’s participation in the games may be in doubt however as has been ruled out of his club’s Europa League game against Spartak Moscow on Thursday night with a quad muscle problem.

“I spoke to Kyle on the phone and in person in Glasgow. I also spoke to Steven Gerrard (Rangers manager),” said O’Neill at the announcement of a 28-man squad.

“It’s good to have him back in. He has an injury just concern, so his availability is contingent on how he comes through the weekend.”

Prior to last month’s away fixtures, the manager explained Lafferty had “ruled himself out of the two games”, adding that the matter would be dealt with on his return.

The IFA’s intervention saw him ruled out of facing Hamilton Academical in Rangers’ next game.

Lafferty’s two-year NI goal drought

Lafferty has scored 20 international goals although he hasn’t netted for his country since the 4-0 World Cup qualifier win over Azerbaijan at Windsor Park in November 2016.

Northern Ireland have not lost any of the 17 international games in which Lafferty has scored.

Northern Ireland face the Republic of Ireland in a friendly on 15 November in Dublin before finishing their Nations League campaign with a match against Austria in Belfast on 18 November.

Martin O’Neill’s Republic side overtook Northern Ireland[2] in the most recent Fifa rankings.

Aberdeen winger Niall McGinn returns after missing the last two games through injury, while Charlton forward Jamie Ward is back in the panel, alongside Rangers defender Gareth McAuley – both players having sat out the trips to Vienna and Sarajevo to work on their fitness with their new clubs.

<!–

Celtic goalkeeper Conor Hazard, QPR winger Paul Smyth and Blackpool midfielder Jordan Thompson are called up from the Under-21 squad, all having previously featured in senior international friendlies.

Smyth marked his debut by scoring the winning goal in a 2-1 friendly win over South Korea[3] at Windsor Park in March.

Rotherham’s Kyle Vassell retains his place in the group but Will Grigg is out injured and Sheffield United frontman Conor Washington is again omitted.

“Conor Washington has had limited game time at his club, so I went for Kyle Vassell and Paul Smyth. Conor needs more game time at Sheffield United but is available if required,” said O’Neill.

Oliver Norwood is not included as he is suspended for the final Nations League encounter with the Austrians.

Nations League relegation likely

Consecutive away defeats in October have left Northern Ireland bottom of their Nations League group with relegation to the third tier of the new competition becoming increasingly likely.

Perhaps more worrying to Michael O’Neill is the fact that his side are without a win in seven competitive matches, drawing one and losing six of those games, and scoring just two goals.

The 2-0 defeat to Bosnia[4] in mid-October meant NI have failed to score in nine of their past 11 away games, including the last six in a row.

O’Neill’s charges have won just two of their last 11 fixtures.

A point against Austria in their 15 November meeting in Vienna would ensure that the Bosnians win the group, with NI facing the Austrians in their final game in the competition three days later.
