Kasper Schmeichel, who has 47 international caps to his name, could potentially play on 5 September, when Denmark face Gibraltar in Group D of the UEFA 2020 European Championship qualifiers. Three days later, meanwhile, the Danes head to Georgia for a second qualifier, as they attempt to add to the five points they have collected from three outings to date.

Evans’ defensive partner at City, the impressive Çağlar Söyüncü, has also earned an international call for Turkey, who he has already been capped 24 times for at the age of just 23. Şenol Güneş’ side face Andorra at the Vodafone Arena in Istanbul on Saturday 7 September, before a fixture against Moldova in Chișinău three days later.

Their opening match takes place at San Marino’s national team stadium, Olimpico di Serravalle, on Friday 6 September, while they then head to Hampden Park for a clash with Scotland having won all four of their first games in Group I. Wembley Stadium will be the venue for England’s encounter with Bulgaria on Saturday 7 September, as James Maddison targets a senior debut for the Three Lions.

England currently sit top of Group D with two wins from two games. City shot-stopper Danny Ward will hope to add to his six caps for Wales during the international break, with two home fixtures next up for Ryan Giggs’ men. On Friday, they will entertain Azerbaijan in Group E at Cardiff City Stadium, where three days later they welcome Belarus, having won two of their first three games. Striker Kelechi Iheanacho has been selected by Nigeria, who finished third in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations this summer. Iheanacho’s side head to the Dnipro Arena for an international friendly encounter with Ukraine on Tuesday 10 September. James Justin, who joined the Club in the summer from Luton Town, has been awarded his first call-up for England’s Under-21s, who will play twice in September. The young Lions head to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium for a clash with Turkey on Friday 6 September, before a home fixture against Kosovo at Hull City’s KCOM Stadium. Development Squad youngsters Vontae Daley-Campbell, Khanya Leshabela and Admiral Muskwe may all notch up further appearances at senior and youth level on Thursday. Muskwe’s selection for the Zimbabwe senior team could see him play against Somalia in a World Cup qualifier, while Daley-Campbell’s England Under-19s first face Greece and Leshabela’s South Africa Under-23s take on Zimbabwe Under-23s on the same day.

jmono84 Posted 4 September 2019 Posted 4 September 2019 Can’t believe Ricky P hasn’t been called up!!

Of the X1 likely to start against Man Utd, Riccardo, Barnes, Ndidi, Choudhury and Vardy all get a couple of weeks off. A small advantage could come our way.

Interesting to note Praet's call up - from what I can tell online he has won 3 caps since 2014 and his most recent appearance in March was as a sub for one minute. Weird too how Hamza and Barnes aren't in the U21s too - they're both still 21 and fully fit. Hamza isn't still suspended is he?

They're not eligible to play.

That is a weird one, there was an article a couple of weeks back from the national coach saying he wouldnt be called as he was injured. However he did play for us the following week... so ... like i said its a weird one. Are they unable to change there mind?
