October international fixtures for our players

Qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues apace over the next fortnight, with a number of our players set to feature for their respective nations.

In addition to the competitive action, there are a handful of international friendlies taking place, with some of our home nations players potentially set to collide when Djed Spence – in the England squad for the second consecutive month – finds himself in opposition to Ben Davies and Brennan Johnson when England host Wales at Wembley. Ben is currently on 98 caps for Wales and could reach his century in next week’s World Cup qualifier at home to Belgium.

A further all-Spurs clash could happen when on-loan Manor Solomon’s Israel visit Guglielmo Vicario and Destiny Udogie’s Italy in World Cup qualifying next week.

Elsewhere, on-loan defender Luka Vuskovic is back in the senior Croatia squad after spending September’s international window with their Under-21s, while Academy defenders Elijah Upson and Harry Byrne have earned their first international call-ups for England Under-18s and the Republic of Ireland Under-19s respectively. Fellow Academy player Leon Myrtaj, meanwhile, joins up with Hungary Under-19s for the first time, having previously represented Albania at youth level.

Here’s a run-down of when and where our players will be playing over the course of this international window (all kick-off times are UK)...
