From the source

Manchester United goalkeeper Dermot Mee and Portsmouth forward Eoin Kenny have been handed their first Northern Ireland call-ups for November's final Nations League matches with Ukraine and Hungary.

Mee, 23, is a former Northern Ireland underage international and, although he has not played competitively for United this season, will add competition to NI's first choice goalkeeper Pierce Charles.

Wide player Kenny, who is the son of former Republic of Ireland manager Stephen, joined Portsmouth from Dundalk in July. The 20-year-old has made one league appearance for the Championship club, but has been handed a first call up as Dion Charles, Eoin Toal and goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell drop out of the squad.
