Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill has left out David Healy, Paddy McCourt and Chris Baird from his squad for next week's World Cup qualifier with Russia.

The trio are all currently without a club.

However striker Kyle Lafferty has been re-called after serving a suspension.

The fixture was originally meant to take place in March, but was postponed because of heavy snow and ice in Belfast.

The Northern Ireland squad for next weekend's qualifier:

Roy Carroll (Olympiacos), Alan Mannus (St Johnstone), Aaron Hughes (Fulham), Ryan McGivern (Hibernian), Craig Cathcart (Blackpool), Gareth McAuley (West Brom), Daniel Lafferty (Burnley), Jonny Evans (Manchester United), Alex Bruce (Hull), Steven Davis (Southampton), Oliver Norwood (Huddersfield), Grant McCann (Peterborough), Niall McGinn (Aberdeen), Shane Ferguson (Birmingham, on loan from Newcastle), Corry Evans (Blackburn), Will Grigg (Brentford), Billy McKay (Inverness), Martin Paterson (Huddersfield), Jamie Ward (Derby), Kyle Lafferty (Palermo).
