International football in brief: Lafferty and Hughes miss out

Northern Ireland will be without injured pair Kyle Lafferty and Aaron Hughes for tonight's Euro 2012 qualifier against Slovenia, with both players back with their clubs for treatment.

Hughes, the Fulham defender, played the full game despite dislocating his shoulder midway through the first half.
