Three West Ham players could feature in the UEFA Nations League tonight, with all three matches kicking off at 7.45pm.

Mads Hermansen’s Denmark host Portugal, Konstantinos Mavropanos is in line to represent Greece against the Netherlands, while Manor Solomon’s Israel face Kosovo in Hungary.

The official West Ham international guide confirms all three fixtures, although the starting line-ups will not be announced until shortly before kick-off.

Workload Watch For Nuno

Mavropanos is the player whose minutes will be watched most closely. The defender completed the full match as Greece recorded an impressive 1-0 victory over Germany on Sunday.

Dinos was outstanding in that game, producing some truly incredible statistics to inflict Jürgen Klopp’s first defeat as Germany manager. The West Ham defender made a team-high 13 clearances as Greece recorded their first-ever victory over Germany.

ever growing workload – Dinos Mavropanos

His international workload was already a concern, with Greece scheduled to play four times during the break.

Hermansen and Solomon could also be involved tonight before all three eventually return to prepare for West Ham’s Championship game against Queens Park Rangers on 9 October.

For Nuno, it’ll be another evening spent hoping his players get through international duty unscathed.
