Crystal Palace U21 defender Kofi Balmer has earned his first call-up to the senior Northern Ireland squad ahead of their Nations League matches against Kosovo and Greece.
Ian Baraclough's side are in need of results going into their final two matches of the campaign, sitting third in League C Group 2 with two points, with their upcoming opponents occupying the top two positions with six and 12 points respectively.
The 21-year-old made the move to south London from Larne FC in August and has since featured in every match for Paddy McCarthy's young Eagles, having made more than 40 appearances for Larne last season as the Northern Irish outfit qualified for the Europa Conference League play-offs.
