Alexander Isak

United's leading goalscorer started for Sweden in their surprise friendly defeat to Luxembourg at Stade de Luxembourg on Saturday, but was withdrawn after the hour.

The in-form striker grabbed a goal and assist during the Blågult's 5-1 thrashing of Northern Ireland at the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm on Tuesday evening, setting up Emil Holm's opener inside seven minutes before scoring a stunning long-range effort shortly after the hour mark.

Joelinton and Bruno Guimarães

The South American pair were initially selected in Brazil's provisional 52-man squad ahead of this month's respective 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina before the midfield duo were both named in the Seleção's 23-man squad.

On Friday, they beat Colombia 2-1 at the Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha, with Guimarães playing 78 minutes and Joelinton coming off the bench just before the half hour. Guimarães' yellow card, however, ruled him out of the clash with Argentina at Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires on Wednesday night.

Joelinton was handed a start in that game but the five-time World champions suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat against the World Cup holders, with the Magpies midfielder replaced by João Gomes before the restart.

Lewis Miley

The teenage midfielder is part of the Young Lions' squad for three European Under-19 Championship elite qualifying round fixtures against Wales, Turkey and Portugal respectively, all taking place in Wales.

Will Antwi's side, targeting a place at this summer's finals in Romania by topping Group 7, got off to a strong start on Wednesday night after beating their Welsh counterparts 2-0 at the Bangor City Stadium, with Miley playing the full 90 minutes.

England's youngsters then drew 0-0 with Turkey at the Deeside Stadium on Saturday, with Miley skippering the side and playing the full match before the Young Lions secured qualification for this summer's finals in Romania following a 1-0 win against Portugal on Tuesday, with Miley playing the full game.

Isaac Hayden

The experienced Hayden was part of the BBC's radio commentary team covering the Magpies' Carabao Cup triumph at Wembley, and the 29-year-old - who is on loan at Championship side Portsmouth - then went on to play the full game for Jamaica side as they drew 1-1 in their Concacaf Gold Cup qualifying clash with Saint Vincent and the Grenadines at the Arnos Vale Stadium on Friday.

The return fixture saw Jamaica claim a 3-0 win at Sabina Park on Wednesday, with Hayden playing the opening 87 minutes in Kingston.

Leo Shahar

The highly-rated right-back, who joined the Magpies from hometown club Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2023, was named in the England Under-18s squad ahead of three friendlies against Czech Republic, France and Portugal in Porto, and was an unused substitute during a 2-2 draw against Czech Republic at the Estádio de São Miguel.

Shahar then netted for his side in their 2-2 draw with France the Sport Clube Freamunde on Sunday.

The Young Lions beat their Portugal counterparts 1-0 two days later at the Municipal Stadium de Lousada as Shahar played the opening 89 minutes in Porto.

Charlie McArthur

On-loan Carlisle United defender McArthur made his Scotland Under-21s debut as a second half substitute in their 2-0 friendly win over Murphy's Republic of Ireland Under-21s, after being a late addition to the squad.

The Kilmarnock-born defender was handed his full international debut at under-21 level on Tuesday but Scotland's youngsters suffered a 6-1 defeat at the hands of Iceland, which also took place at the Pinatar Arena.

Rory Finneran

The young midfielder was in action for the Republic of Ireland Under-17s as they lost 1-0 to Belgium in Poland on Wednesday before beating 2-0 on Saturday, playing the full game in both European Championship qualifiers.

The highly-rated teenager captained his country during a 5-0 victory against Iceland in Gryfice on Tuesday, booking their place at this year's Under-17 World Cup finals in Qatar.

Dan Burn, Tino Livramento and Anthony Gordon

Burn played the full 90 minutes at Wembley on his England debut - and could even have capped an incredible week by scoring for the Three Lions against Albania.

Ashington-born, Blyth-raised Burn earned his debut call-up at the age of 32 as he continues a remarkable journey which saw him released from the Magpies' academy and work in a supermarket. After working his way back up from non-league to join his boyhood club in 2022, he played and scored for United as they ended their 70-year wait for a domestic trophy with their 2-1 Carabao Cup final win at Wembley last week.

And the centre back's week almost got even better when he rattled the crossbar with a header in this World Cup qualifying clash on Friday, which Thomas Tuchel's men won 2-0.

Livramento - who has one cap, after making his Three Lions bow against Republic of Ireland in November - was an unused substitute, while Gordon earned his tenth cap off the bench in the second half but appeared to suffer a knock towards the end of the contest.

And on Monday night, Burn was an unused substitute as Tuchel's charges eased past Latvia, winning 3-0. Gordon missed out through injury, while Livramento wasn't in the matchday squad.

Sandro Tonali

The Magpies midfielder put Italy ahead against Germany on his return to San Siro on Thursday, giving his side the lead in their UEFA Nations League quarter-final tie - his second in his last three outings for the Azzurri.

Second half strikes from Tim Kleindienst and Leon Goretzka won it for the visitors, though, and Tonali then played the first 68 minutes of his side's 3-3 draw with Germany at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund on Sunday - a 5-4 defeat on aggregate.

Odysseas Vlachodimos

The United goalkeeper - a regular for his country - was an unused substitute at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus on Thursday as Scott McTominay's penalty earned Scotland a 1-0 first-leg lead in their UEFA Nations League play-off clash.

Former Benfica stopper Vlachodimos currently has 47 caps for the Galanolefki, having made his senior debut in 2018, and was also on the bench at Hampden Park on Sunday as his side won 3-0.

Alex Murphy

The Irish defender, currently on loan at League One side Bolton Wanderers for the remainder of the 2024/25 season, picked up his fifth cap for the Republic of Ireland Under-21s in their 2-0 friendly defeat to Scotland at the Pinatar Arena on Friday, playing the full 90 minutes.

His side then beat Hungary 3-1 at the same venue, with Murphy making a second half substitute appearance on 68 minutes.

Martin Dúbravka

Goalkeeper Dúbravka kept a clean sheet in Slovakia's goalless UEFA Nations League draw with Slovenia at Tehelné pole in Bratislava on Thursday, but was beaten once in the decisive second leg at Stožice Stadium in Ljubljana on Sunday, playing the full 90 minutes.

Travis Hernes

Young midfielder Hernes - who is currently out on loan at Aalborg BK - could line up for Norway Under-21s when they take on the Czech Republic in a friendly on Monday, 24th March. That game will take place at the Pinatar Arena in Spain.
