Jonny Evans and Steven Davis will miss Northern Ireland’s friendlies against Malta and Ukraine while Conor Bradley and Sam McClelland have been handed their first senior call-ups by Ian Baraclough.
Evans, 33, has been nursing a foot injury that the defender sustained in Leicester City’s FA Cup final triumph over Chelsea earlier this month and he was not named in Brendan Rodgers’ squads for their final two Premier League games of the season.
