After suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in January 2023, Corry Evans did not compete for Northern Ireland. However, the 33-year-old resumed practising with the team in March, and he will be freed by Sunderland at the conclusion of the agreement next month.

Pierce Charles, the custodian for Sheffield Wednesday and the brother of midfielder Shea Charles, has made his debut in the senior squad.
