BURNLEY trio Michael Duff, Steve Jones and Kyle Lafferty have all earned call-ups to the Northern Ireland squad.
Lawrie Sanchez will be hoping the three Clarets stars can help his side get their European qualifying campaign off to a good start against Iceland at Windsor Park on Saturday, September 2.
The Irish then face a tough test against Spain, also at Windsor Park, on Wednesday, September 6.
All three Burnley players made substitute appearances in Northern Ireland's impressive friendly victory in Finland last week.
And the call-up is just-reward for teenager Lafferty who scored the winner in that match.
Northern Ireland have been drawn in Group F in the qualifying campaign, where they will compete with Iceland, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Latvia and Liechtenstein.
There are no play-offs , with the top two teams automatically qualifying for the finals in Austria and Switzerland.
