Luke McCullough and Ben Reeves have been called into Northern Ireland's squad for the European Championship qualifiers against Greece and Finland.

Michael O'Neill has brought in Doncaster defender McCullough and MK Dons midfielder Reeves after injury concerns over West Brom duo Jonny Evans and Gareth McAuley.

Evans came off in Albion's 2-0 Premier League loss at Crystal Palace on Saturday due to a hamstring problem.

McAuley played the whole game but had been a doubt in the build-up because of a calf injury.

O'Neill's Group F leaders face Greece at home on Thursday followed by Finland away three days later.

One win would guarantee Northern Ireland's maiden appearance in next summer's tournament in France.
