Which Fulham players were selected for their national teams this international break?

It is time to return to international football.

The good news is that this time, things are not quite as bad from a Fulham perspective, having earned eight points from their last four matches and moved up to 15th in the table.

It is also only a one-week break this time, as opposed to the two we had in September and October.

So those are the positives, as are the fact that for many Fulham players, this is a chance to represent their countries on the biggest stage as Nations League campaigns come to an end in Europe and there are plenty of Cottagers involved.

We take you through all those who are there and who they will play against.

David Affengruber (Austria)

Austria are in pole position to top League B, Group 3, sitting on eight points from their four matches.

Now they welcome the Republic of Ireland and face Israel, two sides who have won one game between them.

Affengruber’s side could need just one point from their two matches, should results go their way, to guarantee safe promotion to League A.

Joachim Andersen (Denmark)

Denmark have six points to their name as things stand in League A, Group 4 and have two tough matches to close out their campaign.

Andersen’s men will hope they can get something out of a clash with Cristiano Ronaldo-less Portugal before they host Norway.

Should they remain in the top two sides, they will advance to the quarter-finals of the Nations League.

Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi (Nigeria)

After a shock defeat to Guinea-Bissau, pressure is now on Nigeria to deliver results to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations.

They face Tanzania twice and Bassey and Iwobi will hope to individually continue their good form against a side they will be expecting to beat.

Sander Berge and Oscar Bobb (Norway)

There is likely to be a reunion for Berge and Bobb in both of their matches, as Norway face Wales and Harry Wilson and then Andersen’s Denmark.

As things stand, they are going to drop into League B, so they will need to improve, but the big positive is that they are not facing Portugal, having already lost to them twice.

Timothy Castagne (Belgium)

League A, Group 1 has become a three-horse race, with Turkiye already all but confirmed to be dropping to League B, having lost all four of their matches.

That is likely to leave the big showdown for Castagne’s men against Italy on matchday six, with Belgium taking on the bottom side first, having already lost to France twice.

Shea Charles (Northern Ireland)

Northern Ireland have almost achieved an impressive feat of promotion to League A, and Charles played a major part in that.

His performances played a massive part in Northern Ireland being unbeaten and having not conceded a goal, and now they will hope to wrap up their promotion against Ukraine and Hungary.

Josh King (England)

King received his first senior England call-up and joins England as they look to seal their spot in the Nations League quarter-finals.

They will face Croatia, a side they defeated 7-0 away from home, and world champions Spain, who are unbeaten and top the group after four matches, as King looks to make his debut.

Hugo Larsson (Sweden)

Sweden have one foot into League A after a brilliant three wins and one draw from their four matches in the last block.

They face Bosnia and Herzegovina, knowing that a win confirms their promotion, while a point will mean they need just one more point against Poland in the final match to seal top spot.

Antonee Robinson (USA)

The USA are taking on Haiti over two legs in the Concacaf Nations League quarter-finals.

Robinson captained his side for the first time last time out and so will hope to do the same in one of those matches this time around.

Gonzalo Garcia (Spain U21)

Having already secured qualification for the U21 European championships, Spain will now take on Japan U21 and Albania U21 in two friendlies, with Garcia hoping to rediscover his goalscoring form during those two matches.
