October international fixtures for our players

It’s set to be a busy couple of weeks for our players on the international scene.

UEFA Nations League matches are once again on the agenda for those representing European countries, while there are World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers for players from other continents.

Among the headline call-ups this month is Dominic Solanke, who has earned a recall to the England national team for the first time since winning his one and only cap back in 2017. If he features for the Three Lions against either Greece or Finland, it will be the longest gap between England appearances for any player since our former goalkeeper Ian Walker between 1997 and 2004.

Pedro Porro has also worked his way back into the Spain squad for the first time since March.

Here’s the full list of international matches involving our players during the international break (all kick-off times are UK)...
