The Pools goalie has been rewarded for his excellent form between the sticks at the Northern Gas & Power Stadium by getting the nod in Michael O'Neill's 24-man setup for the World Cup qualifiers which will be played on October 8 and October 11.

Carson's involvement at international level will see him miss on next week's League Two clash with Crawley Town a week on Saturday, as well as the Checkatrade Trophy encounter with Sunderland in midweek.

O'Neill's men take on San Marino match at Windsor Park first before a trip to Germany three days later.

Countryman and teammate Liam Donnelly will also miss those two games due to his involvement with the Under-21 setup. Donnelly is skipper of the Northern Ireland kids.
