Northern Ireland boss Ian Baraclough says he regrets but respects Liam Boyce’s decision to make himself unavailable for international selection.
Boyce, who won the last of his 28 caps against Malta in May, hasn’t been part of the national squad for family reasons for the entirety of the current season.
The Hearts striker has sat out the national team’s last seven fixtures and will be missing once again for this month’s friendlies with Luxembourg and Hungary.
