Goalkeeper Paddy Flood, striker Chris Trussell (below) and defenders Kyle Buckley and Andrew Doyle have been named in an 18-strong panel.

Northern Ireland will play ARF Telenesti (Moldova) on September 23 followed by a game against AF Piatykhatska (Ukraine) on September 25 with the final game against Selección Catalana (Spain) on September 27.

The quartet’s selection is big recognition for the Dixon Park outfit who boast more players than any other Championship club.

For Trussell in particular it’s another major boost for the in-form striker who landed the winning goal to send Linfield crashing out of the League Cup last month. His goalscoring record at Ballyclare is truly exceptional. He has netted 51 times in 55 appearances and is averaging a goal in every other game this term.
