Northern Ireland captain Magill out of play-off

Northern Ireland captain Simone Magill is one of several absentees for the Nations League promotion play-off with Iceland.
There is a return for experienced defender Sarah McFadden, Toni-Leigh Finnegan and forwards Kerry Beattie and Casey Howe.
San Diego-born forward Leyla McFarland, who plays for Durham, has earned a first senior call-up, as has Glentoran midfielder Mia Moore.
Laura Rafferty will miss out through injury, while fellow key defender Rachel Dugdale announced her retirement from football in September.
Burnley midfielder Brenna McPartlan is also missing for the play-offs.
Tanya Oxtoby's side secured a shot at reaching League A for the first time by finishing second in their Nations League group behind Poland.
Iceland, on the other hand, were third in a League A group containing France, Norway and bottom side Switzerland.
The first leg takes place in Ballymena on 24 October and the return game is in Reykjavik on 28 October, but Oxtoby is without several key players.
