However, Blackburn man Corry Evans [hamstring] and 23-year-old winger Gavin Whyte [thigh] remain on the sidelines and have been ruled out of the second qualifier.


“Gareth has come through and Gareth will be fine to be considered for tomorrow night,” O’Neill said on Saturday.


“Corry is not going to be fit and Gavin Whyte won’t be fit so the only real change is Gareth.”

McAuley, who has 80 international caps, played an integral part in Northern Ireland’s successful Euro 2016 qualifying campaign before becoming the first Northern Irishman to score at a major championships in 30 years.


Jonny Evans and Craig Cathcart were manager Michael O’Neill’s starting centre-back pairing and helped secure a clean sheet in the victory over Estonia.


Belarus suffered a 4-0 defeat against the Netherlands on Thursday night, but O’Neill still believes Sunday’s match is likely to be more difficult than their first game.

“I think they’ll possibly pose a greater threat, maybe counter-attacking wise and attacking wise, than Estonia did,” he said.


“We have to keep the performance level at the same level if not higher to get the result we hope for.”
