Mee and Kenny handed first Northern Ireland call-ups

Mee and Kenny earn first Northern Ireland caps for Nations League matches against Ukraine and Hungary in November.

Manchester United goalkeeper Dermot Mee and Portsmouth forward Eoin Kenny have received their first Northern Ireland call-ups for the final two Nations League matches in November. Mee, 23, is a former underage international who will provide competition for first-choice goalkeeper Pierce Charles, while Kenny, 20, joins the squad after making one league appearance for Portsmouth since his summer move from Dundalk.

Northern Ireland face Ukraine at Windsor Park on Saturday, 14 November, before travelling to Hungary on 17 November. Manager Michael O'Neill's side are unbeaten at the top of League B2 and can secure promotion to the top tier for the first time. The squad is missing several players through injury, including Sunderland defender Dan Ballard (hamstring) and Liverpool's Conor Bradley, who has not played since January.
