Corry Evans and Gavin Whyte will miss Northern Ireland's European Qualifier against Belarus on Sunday through injury but Gareth McAuley has been passed fit.
The trio all sat out Thursday night's 2-0 win over Estonia, with Evans and McAuley carrying hamstring injuries and Whyte having a thigh problem.

"Gareth has come through and Gareth will be fine to be considered for tomorrow night," manager Michael O'Neill said on Saturday.
"Corry is not going to be fit and Gavin Whyte won't be fit so the only real change is Gareth."
Belarus suffered a 4-0 defeat in Holland on Thursday night, but O'Neill still believes Sunday's match is likely to be more difficult than the Estonia game for his side.

"I think they'll possibly pose a greater threat, maybe counter-attacking wise and attacking wise, than Estonia did," he said.
