The final edition of the international break schedule, here's all the games that Strand Larsen, Sarr and Pino are playing over the next few weeks.
Three weeks without Crystal Palace has dawned on us, and if we’re being honest, it’s going to be a long wait for domestic football to return, but what can Palace fans keep an eye on during the break, and where can they keep up with the number of players away with their sides?
There are a total of eleven Palace players away with their nations, whilst Takehiro Tomiyasu was withdrawn from the Japanese squad due to a calf injury.
So who’s been selected and what games could we see them feature in?
Jørgen Strand Larsen - Norway
Strand Larsen was part of the Norway side that made history after beating Brazil in the knockouts in last summer’s World Cup, and as that generation of Norwegians continues to develop, there is great promise that the next tournaments could be huge for them.
Of course, Strand Larsen competes for a position with one of the best players in world football in Erling Haaland, which makes his life a little bit more difficult when it comes to the international stage.
However, he’s started the year really well for Palace, and will be hoping to do the same for Norway who will compete in the Nations League, in League A.
Norway vs Denmark - 19:45 - 24/09/26
Norway vs Portugal - 19:45 - 27/07/26
Wales vs Norway - 19:45 - 01/10/26
Portugal vs Norway - 19:45 - 04/10/26
Ismaïla Sarr - Senegal
Sarr had a fantastic World Cup for Senegal, but unfortunately for him not one strong enough to see any potential suitors come in to sign him from Palace. Due to a groin injury, Sarr only returned to action for Palace off the bench recently, and at Elland Road on Sunday, looked well off the pace.
Sarr scored in the Round of 32 to put Senegal 2-0 up over Belgium, but a remarkable comeback saw the Red Devils fight back and win 3-2.
Senegal only have one scheduled game in this international break, after their AFCON qualifying game against Mozambique was cancelled. Therefore, it will just be the one AFCON qualifier for Sarr and Senegal, as they travel to Ethiopia.
Ethiopia vs Senegal - 14:00 - 29/09/26
Yerémy Pino - Spain
World Cup winner Pino will be joining up with his teammates from the summer to reminisce about their miraculous journey to glory, but also to compete in the Nations League too.
Pino has had another strong start to the season, and played key roles in games, especially the Europa League win over Lech Poznań. For Spain, his role has been limited largely to the presence of two of the best young players in World football, Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams Jr who are Spain’s starting wingers.
Of course, Spain will be competing in the Nations League too.
England vs Spain - 19:45 - 26/09/26
Spain vs Croatia - 19:45 - 29/09/26
Spain vs Czechia - 19:45 - 03/10/26
