Few clubs in world football will have more players in action during this international break than Real Madrid. In total, 15 members of José Mourinho's squad are set to be in senior action for their countries around the world. So, find out who will be in action and when.
Spain: Marc Cucurella and Dean Huijsen
Fixtures: 12 November vs Czechia and 15 November vs England.
Spain are seeking to continue their streak of 11 successive victories, aiming to reach a fourth UEFA Nations League Final in a row. Marc Cucurella is Luis de la Fuente's first-choice left-back, while Dean Huijsen is back in the fold, having featured in only one of four fixtures during the last international window.
Brazil: Vinícius Júnior and Endrick
- Fixtures: 14 November vs Japan and 17 November vs Singapore.
After matches in Australia and India last month, the Brazil squad are racking up the air miles again, playing two games in Kallang, taking on Japan and then hosts Singapore. Having missed the last four La Liga matches suspended, the minutes may be useful for Vinícius Júnior.
Meantime, the joke in Brazil is that Carlo Ancelotti hates Endrick, having been seen to under-utilise him for both club and country. The 20 year old striker did appear in all three of the Seleção's friendlies during the last window, expected to be in action at the Singapore National Stadium too.
France: Kylian Mbappé, Eduardo Camavinga and Ibrahima Konaté
- Fixtures: 12 November vs Italy and 15 vs Türkiye.
In the act of scoring the only goal in İzmit in September, Kylian Mbappé suffered a hamstring injury, thereby curtailing his international window early. He will though be a key player for Zinédine Zidane, with Ibrahima Konaté and Eduardo Camavinga also in les Bleus' squad, but Aurélien Tchouaméni is not, withdrawing due to an abductor injury on Wednesday.
England: Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold
- Fixtures: 12 November vs Croatia and 15 November vs Spain.
Another one of los Blancos' stars Jude Bellingham could play the full 180 minutes for England, while Trent Alexander-Arnold not so much, included in the squad, despite not being central to Thomas Tuchel's plans. England's clash with Spain in Madrid on Sunday will be one for fans to watch.
Uruguay: Fede Valverde
- Fixtures: 13 November vs Argentina and 17 November vs Dominican Republic.
Having not been called up for the last international break, Fede Valverde is back in the Uruguay fold, set to play for new manager Diego Forlán for the first time. La Celeste face Argentina at La Bombonera and then Dominican Republic at home, two contrasting friendlies to say the least.
Türkiye: Arda Güler
- Fixtures: 12 November vs Belgium and 15 November vs France.
Arda Güler has been in scintillating form at club level, now seeking to replicate that for Türkiye. The Crescent-Stars have lost all four matches in UEFA Nations League A so far, which proved to be the end for Vincenzo Montella, so how will they look under new head coach Sergen Yalçın?
Portugal: Bernardo Silva
- Fixtures: 14 November vs Denmark and 17 November vs Wales.
It is now the post-Cristiano Ronaldo era for Portugal, with Bernardo Silva officially their new captain. Having already booked their spot in the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals with two games to spare, expect Jorge Jesus to experiment.
Netherlands: Denzel Dumfries
- Fixtures: 13 November vs Greece and 16 November vs Germany.
Denzel Dumfries has not been playing as regularly as he might have envisaged at Real Madrid, so will be hoping to see some minutes under Xavi with the Netherlands.
Morocco: Brahim Díaz
- Fixtures: 13 and 17 November vs Niger.
Morocco have won both Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers to date and, with two games against Niger, world ranked 111, to come this week, Brahim Díaz will fancy his chances of adding to his 15 goals for the Atlas Lions.
Côte d'Ivoire: Yan Diomande
- Fixtures: 12 and 17 November vs The Gambia.
Elsewhere in AFCON qualifying, Côte d'Ivoire also boast maximum points, ahead of a double-header against the Gambia. Yan Diomande has not scored for les Éléphants since January, seeking to change that in Bouaké.
