Youri Tielemans & Eden Hazard

Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard set up Youri Tielemans for his goal against San Marino.

City's representation began last Wednesday as youth defender Vontae Daley-Campbell starred for England's Under-19s in the Marbella International Cup.

On Thursday, meanwhile, midfielder Youri Tielemans scored and set up another in Belgium's UEFA European Championships qualification-winning victory over San Marino.

Wilfred Ndidi

Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi played the full 90 minutes for Nigeria in Singapore.

Çağlar Söyüncü, on the other hand, helped Turkey keep a clean sheet in Friday's 1-0 victory over Albania and James Justin was a second-half substitute in England Under-21s' 2-2 draw with Slovenia.

On Saturday, Kasper Schmeichel was the Man of the Match as Denmark beat Switzerland 1-0 on his 50th appearance for the Danes, equalling Andy King's record for international caps while at the Club.

Elsewhere, young City striker Will Russ’ Wales Under-19s lost 3-1 to Austria and Luke Thomas played 90 minutes for England's Under-19s in their 4-2 win over Belgium at the Marbella Football Centre.

Çağlar Söyüncü

The Turkey international has been in fine form for Leicester City this season.

Centre-back Çağlar Söyüncü could feature once more for Turkey in a potentially massive UEFA European Championships qualifier against current world champions France in Paris on Monday.

Following last week's win over Albania, Turkey lead France in Group H due to their head-to-head record, but they will need to avoid defeat at the Stade de France to retain their position at the summit.

Elsewhere, after sitting out Friday's 2-1 defeat by Czech Republic - the Three Lions' first loss in 43 qualifiers - Ben Chilwell could help England secure their place at EURO 2020 against Bulgaria at Stadion Vasil Levski.

The Three Lions, leaders of Group A, can still qualify on Monday if they beat Bulgaria and Kosovo do not defeat Montenegro, while Chilwell will be hoping to win his ninth senior cap in Sofia.

Ricardo Pereira last appeared for Portugal as they were eliminated from the 2018 World Cup in a 2-1 defeat to Uruguay.

Ricardo Pereira, on the other hand, could make his first outing for Portugal since last summer's FIFA World Cup when the UEFA Nations League holders tackle Ukraine at NSC Olimpiyskiy in Kiev on Monday.

On Tuesday evening, James Justin and England Under-21s are due to face Austria at stadium:mk in Milton Keynes in their latest UEFA U21 2021 EURO qualifier.

Youngster Lukáš Hušek is also in line a second international outing in a week on Monday as Czech Republic's Under-20s side tackle England at Peterborough United's Weston Homes Stadium.

Two friendlies, meanwhile, will see Kasper Schmeichel's Denmark face Luxembourg in Aalborg on Tuesday, while Jonny Evans' Northern Ireland face Czech Republic one day earlier.
