Immensely talented Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling has recently been handed a promotion within the England squad. It's certainly deserved.
It is now the November international break. For better or for worse, Southampton fans can take a break from Saints action for a couple of weeks.
However, this does not mean that the players will remain idle. In fact, there will be a few Southampton players in action for their respective nations.
A lot of the focus from Southampton fans will be on the England international team. This is because two big players, Aaron Ramsdale and Taylor Harwood-Bellis, were called up to the England international team.
They will be joined by a fellow Southampton youngster. While he won't be playing alongside his Southampton teammates, he has made a significant step closer.
