Brentford winger Dallas has pulled out with a leg injury while Liverpool defender McLaughlin is also injured.

Little, who has made nine international appearances, moved from Ibrox to Preston in the summer.
The 25-year-old scored 38 goals in 87 games during his eight seasons with Rangers.

Dallas signed a new three-year contract with the Bees in June after helping the club secure promotion from League One.
