Seven Hatters will be representing their country during the final international break of 2023 over the coming weeks.
One player who will not be going on international duty is Amari’i Bell, who was called up for the Jamaica squad but will remain at home to recover from his ongoing hamstring injury that he picked up against Burnley last month.
Starting at the Under-17 World Cup, Joe Johnson missed out on England’s 10-0 win against New Caledonia before starting today (Tuesday) in the game against IR Iran.
The academy graduate played 76 minutes as the Young Lions came from a goal behind to snatch a 2-1 win in stoppage time, leaving England top of Group C before their final group stage match against Brazil.
Skipper Tom Lockyer has once again been selected for Wales, who have crucial Euro 2024 qualifiers against Armenia and Turkey.
Rob Page’s side currently sit in a qualification spot above Croatia based on head-to-head results and will look to secure qualification in these final two fixtures.
Chieo Ogbene’s Republic of Ireland still have an outside chance of qualifying for Euro 2024 through a play-off based on UEFA Nations League rankings.
The Boys in Green have to face the Netherlands in Amsterdam with a defeat holding more weight for their chances of a play-off than a victory.
