Nearly 20 Hammers players have been called into international duty ahead of a hugely busy international break.

The official Hammers site at www.whufc.com has listed all those who will be away on international duty as the rest of us pray that none of the seniors, in particular, return injured ahead of the next Premier League game against Wolves on October 1.

The games start tomorrow evening when Alphonse Areola’s France take on Austria at the Stade de France in the Nations League. Currently France are without a win in Group A1.

Didier Deschamps’s men will hope to record their first win against a side with former Hammer Marko Arnautović in their ranks before they face current group leaders Denmark three days later.

Friday night is the big one for England when they take on Italy – a game which may well see Jarrod Bowen involved although, as reported earlier, Declan Rice may be missing.

Elsewhere, Lucas Paquetá will hope to add to his 33 caps for Brazil, with fellow summer signing Maxwel Cornet called up for the Ivory Coast’s squad. Vladimír Coufal and Tomáš Souček are set to play for the Czech Republic, and Michail Antonio is back in action for Jamaica.

Gianluca Scamacca and Emerson Palmieri are in the Italy squad, while Thilo Kehrer appears for Germany.  

On Monday 26 September, Southgate’s side host Germany, while Italy will travel to Hungary in their final Nations League group-stage match.

Right now, England are winless in the current UEFA Nations League edition, with two points from their first four fixtures, while Italy sits third, although they lost 5-2 to Kehrer’s Germany in their last outing.

Germany, the only unbeaten side in Nations League Group A3, will hope to topple current group leaders Hungary on Friday 23 September, before a trip to Wembley on Monday 26 September.

Elsewhere, Lucas Paquetá’s Brazil will play their international window in France, with fixtures against Ghana on Friday 23 September and Tunisia four days later.

Also in France, Cornet faces Togo on Saturday 24 September, and Guinea on Tuesday 27 September forIvory Coast, while Souček and Coufal will play for the Czech Republic against Portugal on Saturday 23 September in the Nations League, having fallen to a 2-0 defeat in the last meeting between the two sides.

The Czech Republic will then face Switzerland, who currently sit at the foot of Group A2, on Tuesday 27 September, with Michail Antonio also in action for Jamaica’s sole match of the international window against Argentina also on Tuesday 27 September.
