Watford's Peter Kennedy will have to wait a few more weeks for his first chance to impress Northern Ireland boss Sammy McIlroy after he withdrew from the latest squad because of injury.

Kennedy, who has yet to play under McIlroy, pulled out of next Wednesday's friendly against Yugoslavia at Windsor Park after he picked up a knock in training.

Northern Ireland (squad to play Yugoslavia at Windsor Park on Wednesday, August 16th): Taylor (Fulham), Carroll (Wigan), Nolan (Bradford), A Hughes (Newcastle), Williams (Wimbledon), Taggart (Leicester), Griffin (Dundee Utd), Murdock (Preston), Lomas (West Ham), Lennon (Leicester), Gillespie (Blackburn), Johnson (Blackburn), Horlock (Manchester City), Mulryne (Norwich), Magilton (Ipswich), Whitley (Manchester City), Healy (Manchester Utd), Quinn (West Brom), Kirk (Hearts), McKnight (St Mirren), Gray (Burnley).
