Northern Ireland captain Steven Davis has left the squad for personal reasons.
He's one of five players ruled out of Wednesday's Nations League clash with Romania in Belfast.

Davis is 36 in January, while defender Jonny Evans turns 33 next year.

Kenny admits it's unfortunate but says it's something the sport needs to get on with:
