A look at which Nottingham Forest stars are in action for the nations on Tuesday.
As the international break drags on, there are still plenty of Nottingham Forest stars in action for their respective nations.
On Tuesday, as many as six Forest players could feature for their nations again, in a mixture of competitive and friendly international fixtures.
Here is a rundown of every Forest player who could play on Tuesday, and who they may be pitted against if they do.
Morgan Gibbs-White - England: Trip to Czechia
After a brief, but positive, cameo at the end of England's home defeat against Spain, another opportunity for England minutes may await Morgan Gibbs-White on Tuesday.

The Three Lions travel to Czechia for their second of four UEFA Nations League outings in this international break, just days after the tough test against the world champions.
With such a busy schedule, England boss Thomas Tuchel will inevitably opt for a fair bit of rotation throughout the break, which could present Gibbs-White with some well-deserved longer involvement, and possibly even a start.
The 26-year-old is the joint-leading-goalscorer in the Premier League in 2026, and has already shown glimpses, in his cameo against Spain, to justify his call-up following Cole Palmer's withdrawal.
Dan Ndoye - Switzerland: Scotland test awaits
Switzerland emphatically beat North Macedonia in their last game, emerging as 3-0 victors away from home, but Dan Ndoye was not nearly as integral as he would have hoped.
Though the forward was heavily involved in the build-up to Switzerland's opening goal, he saw several squandered chances, as his profligacy became a common theme throughout the game.
Scotland are winless in their last three games, and have not scored so much as a goal in that time, offering an opportunity for Ndoye to rediscover something more akin to his best form.
Jair Cunha - Brazil: Second Australia outing
After making his senior Brazil debut in a 1-1 draw against Australia last week, Jair Cunha could add his second cap in a second friendly against the Socceroos.
Jair was a late substitute in the first game, as Brazil came from behind in the dying embers to draw 1-1.
There have been rumours of rotation for Carlo Ancelotti's side, which could see the 21-year-old defender given more minutes this time, adding to his dream start to the season.
Ousmane Diomande, Ibrahim Sangarè - Côte d'Ivoire: First-ever meeting with Somalia
Forest duo Ousmane Diomande and Ibrahim Sangarè will face Somalia for the first time in Côte d'Ivoire's history on Tuesday.
The duo both started Côte d'Ivoire's first AFCON qualifier, a 2-0 win over Ghana, and will be hoping to build on those minutes against Somalia.
Officially, this is an away match, but due to the instability in Somalia, the game is being played in Côte d'Ivoire.
Ola Aina - Nigeria: Time to build momentum
Ola Aina's start for Nigeria in a 2-1 win against Madagascar last week was his first international appearance in almost a year.
Now, as the Super Eagles prepare to host Guinea-Bissau, the Forest fullback has a chance to build international momentum by doubling his appearances for the year.
Guinea-Bissau come into the game on a high, and top of the group, after beating Tanzania 2-0 away from home, but Nigeria will remain confident of a positive result regardless.
