  "account": "Ceadach O'Neill, an Arsenal forward, has been ruled out of Northern Ireland's upcoming Nations League matches against Ukraine and Hungary due to injury. The 18-year-old, who has earned four international caps, made his first senior appearance for Arsenal in a Carabao Cup last-16 tie. This is O'Neill's second withdrawal from the squad, following Sunderland defender Dan Ballard, Eoin Toal, and midfielders Ali McCann and Jamie McDonnell. Northern Ireland's manager, Michael O'Neill, expressed disappointment over O'Neill's absence, stating that he has been a valuable asset to the team during the recent international window. The team is cautiously optimistic as they prepare for their final two matches, with the Ukraine game being particularly important in their quest for promotion to League A and a potential playoff for Euro 2028.",
