Tom Flanagan, Michael Duffy called up to Northern Ireland squad for first time

Tom Flanagan and Michael Duffy receive their first call-ups to the Northern Ireland squad ahead of next month's 2018 World Cup qualifier against Czech Republic.

Tom Flanagan and Michael Duffy have received their first call-ups to the Northern Ireland squad.

Manager Michael O'Neill has selected the pair for the nation's 2018 World Cup qualifier against Czech Republic in Prague on September 4.

Premier League players Steven Davis, Paddy McNair, Gareth McAuley, Jonny Evans and Craig Cathcart are also included in the setup.

However, there is no place for Will Grigg - the player widely celebrated by fans at Euro 2016 - as his partner is expecting a baby.

The Irish team will be competing for the first time since losing to Wales in the last-16 stage at the European Championships in June.
