Dallas pulls out

STUART Dallas has withdrawn from the Northern Ireland squad through injury just a day after the Brentford winger was called up for Sunday's European Championship qualifier against Hungary.

The former Crusaders player suffered a leg injury in training and Preston North End's Andy Little has been drafted in as his replacement.

Former Rangers striker Little has yet to score for Northern Ireland since making his debut in 2009.

The 27-man squad will be cut to 23 before travelling to Budapest.

Liverpool defender Ryan McLaughlin has also had to withdraw from the squad through injury. The 19-year-old tweeted: "Gutted I had to pull out of the NI squad. Injuries always comes at the worst time.
