Stephen Craigan is an injury doubt for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Slovenia at Windsor Park after sitting out Tuesday morning's training session.
The Motherwell defender is nursing a calf injury and is rated '50/50'.
If Craigan is unable to play, George McCartney would come into the team with Jonny Evans likely to join Aaron Hughes in the centre of defence.
Winger Chris Brunt is suspended for the game so Steve Davis is set to return to the team after a one-match ban.
Grant McCann is likely to move to the left of midfield, with Davis occupying a place in the centre.
McCartney was also suspended for the 3-2 win over Poland.
Manager Nigel Worthington told the BBC that he would have fielded the same team which beat the Poles on Saturday, if everyone had been available to him.
"We will assess Stephen in the morning and give him every chance," said Worthington.
