When will Southampton players be in action during this international break?

Things are going pretty well at Southampton. They had been unbeaten in six EFL Championship matches, prior to Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Preston, leaving the Saints just below the play-off places. With crucial games against Derby, Sheffield United and Middlesbrough to come straight after the break, Tonda Eckert will be desperately hoping he doesn't lose any players to injuries.

Four members of the Saints squad have been called up for senior international duty, so find out who and when they will be in action. Worth noting that Cyle Larin would have been in Jesse Marsch's Canada squad, were it not for a hamstring injury.

Republic of Ireland: Finn Azaz and Ryan Manning

• Fixtures: 14 November vs Austria and 17 November vs Kosovo.

Saints fans should be keeping an eye on the Republic of Ireland's two matches, considering both Finn Azaz and Ryan Manning are set to be in action for Heimir Hallgrímssons's team.

Manning has started each of Ireland's last three games, with Azaz included in the XI for ten of their last 12 competitive outings. The Boys in Green face Austria at Oberösterreich Arena on Saturday and then Kosovo in Dublin next Tuesday, needing to win both to gain promotion to Nations League A.

Israel: Daniel Peretz

• Fixtures: 14 November vs Kosovo and 17 November vs Austria.

In the same league B section, Daniel Peretz is vying to be Israel's number one, Having played every minute in the EFL Championship this season, he also started the Skyblue and Whites first two Nations League games in September, before sitting out the last two.

Assaf Tzur of Hapoel Tel Aviv started the latter pair of fixtures, earning his first two caps, but expect Pertez to be donning the gloves against Kosov and Austria as Ran Ben-Shimon's team battle against relegation to League C.

Japan: Kuryū Matsuki

• Fixtures: 14 November vs Brazil and 17 November vs Paraguay.

Lastly, the September/October international window was a landmark one for Kuryū Matsuki, earning his first two senior international caps for Japan. The winger started against Uruguay in Rifu, marking the occasion by opening the scoring inside 11 minutes, before being handed a late cameo against New Zealand in Tōkyō.

The 23 year old has been called up again by Hajime Moriyasu, hoping to play some part as the Samurai Blue take on Brazil and then Paraguay, both at the Singapore National Stadium in Kallang.
