Brennan Johnson – Wales
Johnson spectacularly made it seven goals in as many games against Iceland, tapping home the opener in a game that ended 2-2.
Brennan left the fray at half time, however, when Wales boasted a 2-0 lead. Johnson’s manager, Craig Bellamy, confirmed that the substitution was merely a “precaution.” (Dafydd Pritchard)
Tottenham’s in-form man missed Wales’ second game of the international break through suspension after the forward picked up a booking against Iceland.
Dejan Kulusevski – Sweden
Kulusevski’s rich vein of form for Tottenham has bled into his outings for Sweden, impressing in both of his 90-minute outings for the national side.
Sweden threw away a two-goal lead against Slovakia, walking away with just a point, although Kulusevski was the star of the show, recording two big chances, three successful take-ons and seven shots – all stats which the newly transformed midfielder led the game in. (Stats Muse)
Sweden comfortably brushed aside Estonia in their second international game with Kulusevski unselfishly sliding the ball across goal for Viktor Gyokeres to cap off a successful night in Tallinn.
Yves Bissouma – Mali
Bissouma intriguingly donned the number ten shirt for Mali in their 1-0 victory over Guinea-Bissau and led the line alongside Stuttgart’s El Bilal Toure.
Whilst Bissouma’s first game for Mali against Guniea-Bissau was an impressive outing, the return fixture was less enthralling with the 28-year-old midfielder playing 88 minutes in Mali’s 0-0 draw.
Ben Davies – Wales
Davies partnered former Tottenham teammate, Joe Rodon, in the heart of defence in Wales’ draw against Iceland.
The 31-year-old was moved to left-back in Wales’ second game of the international break, captaining Cymru to a 1-0 win over Montenegro.
Cristian Romero – Argentina
Argentina were forced to make do without Romero in defence for their opening game of the international break against Venezuela, disappointingly drawing 1-1.
However, Spurs’ vice-captain slotted straight back into Scaloni’s side for their 6-0 thumping against Bolivia.
Pape Matar Sarr – Senegal
Senegal faced Malawi twice in the international break, comfortably beating them 4-0 at home whilst Sarr warmed the bench.
Sarr took up a starting role in the return fixture, however, shining in a tight 1-0 victory that was won by Sadio Mane’s 96th minute strike.
Radu Dragusin – Romania
Dragusin had the joy of nodding home his first goal for Romania in a 3-0 win over Cyprus during the opening game of the international break.
Romania won their next game 2-1 against Lithuania, capping off a successful international break for Dragusin and his nation.
Guglielmo Vicario – Italy
Vicario’s performances for Tottenham have earned him a regular spot in Italy’s national squad. The 27-year-old only made his competitive debut for the Azzurri in their final game of the international break, making a single stop in a 4-1 victory for Italy over Israel.
There will be continued concerns, however, over Vicario’s set-piece ability after Tottenham’s number one was beaten yet again from a corner situation, allowing Israel to find the back of the net.
Micky Van De Ven – Netherlands
Despite only picking up a single point in the international break, it can be deemed a positive period with the Netherlands for Van De Ven who appears to be securing more of a regular spot in Ronald Koeman’s side.
The former Wolfsburg defender was deployed as a left-back in the draw to Hungary before returning to his more natural central defensive role against Germany due to Virgil Van Dijk picking up a red card.
Destiny Udogie – Italy
Udogie, who had an afternoon to forget against Brighton, was handed two more Italy caps this international break, featuring for 20 minutes against Belgium and 16 minutes against Israel.
The 21-year-old shared the pitch with Spurs teammate, Vicario, against Israel and recorded an assist for Azzurri’s fourth of the night.
Dominic Solanke – England
Tottenham’s number nine admitted that he was “over the moon” to be handed his second England cap against Greece, despite the Three Lions bashfully falling to defeat at home to Greece. (Independent)
Solanke’s 18-minute cameo at Wembley was his first time back in an England shirt since 2017 against Brazil and although Solanke teed up Bellingham's equaliser, it wasn't enough to prevent his return to Three Lions ending in defeat.
Lucas Bergvall – Sweden
Lucas Bergvall didn’t add to his three Sweden caps this international break and will currently have Spurs fans worrying after the teenager withdrew from the national squad after being an unused substitute against Slovakia.
The Swedish FA’s statement regarding Bergvall’s withdrawal read: “Lucas Bergvall has suffered a minor injury and will not be available for tonight’s game against Estonia in the Nations League. The midfielder has left the men’s national team’s gathering in Estonia to focus on his rehabilitation.” (Fotboll Direkt)
Pedro Porro – Spain
Porro’s Spain call-up finally came after Dani Carvajal suffered a major knee injury for Real Madrid and Tottenham’s right-back certainly made up for lost time with the Euros winners.
