With the international break having drawn to a close after Tuesday's action, let's take a look at how things went for Chelsea stars all over the world.

After Tuesday night's games, the March international break was completed, with club football now firmly back on the horizon. 

So, with that said, let's take a look at how things went for Chelsea's stars over the last couple of days, as well as a quick look back at this break in general. 

Let's begin at youth level, keeping it niche. Shumaira Mheuka and Jamie Derry were in action for England U19s, as they beat Portugal 6-0. It was a very productive game too, with Derry providing two assists and Mheuka scoring the fifth goal. 

Jumping up a couple of age groups, Josh Acheampong again played the 90 minutes for England U21s, as they defeated Moldova 4-1 in Euros qualifying. Great to see him get 180 minutes under his belt during this window.

Back at senior level, Mamadou Sarr played the 90 minutes for Senegal as they defeated Gambia 3-1, as he continues to get top level experience. Surely he is worth another start soon. 

Meanwhile, Moises Caicedo once again started for Ecuador, as they drew 1-1 away to the Netherlands, and again played the full game. Meanwhile, Jorrel Hato played the final 13 minutes off the bench, replacing Chelsea academy graduate Nathan Ake. 

Cole Palmer started for England as they lost 1-0 to Japan at Wembley. Truth be told, he struggled to make an impact in the game, and was hooked around the hour mark. 

Over in the States, Pedro Neto started for Portugal, as they beat the USA 2-0. He was taken off at half time, being replaced by former Chelsea player Joao Felix. 

Elsewhere on the other side of the pond, Joao Pedro played 67 minutes for Brazil as they defeated Croatia 3-1. Andrey Santos came on as a 76th minute substitute. 

To finish off Tuesday's action, amidst recent controversy, Enzo Fernandez played 74 minutes for Argentina, as they defeated Zambia 5-0 on home soil. 

So, that was that for the players in action on Tuesday. One player who wasn't in action was Marc Cucurella, who was an unused sub for Spain in their 0-0 draw at home to Egypt. On Sunday, fellow full-back Malo Gusto was also an unused sub, as France beat Colombia 3-1

Overall, a pretty productive break, despite some poor performances, and crucially, there were no injuries to report on, heading into a hugely important stretch of the 25/26 season, starting from the FA Cup clash with Port Vale.
