Northern Ireland face two World Cup qualifiers during the next international break.

Out of the competition they can do no more than restore some confidence following the shock defeat against Luxembourg earlier this month in what will be their last two games.

Both games are away. On Friday 11th October they play Azerbaijan in Baku and four days later travel to Ramat Gan for their last game against Israel.

Conlan, meanwhile, is again in the Northern Ireland under-21 squad for two UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers.

The first of them is on Friday 11th October against Belgium. This will be played at Mourneview Park in Lurgan. They will then travel to play Serbia on the following Friday for the second game.

Also called up is David Edgar for Canada's friendly against Australia. He doesn't have quite so far to travel; the game will be played in London at Craven Cottage.
