Will Osula

Young forward Osula - who scored his first Premier League goal for United against Ipswich in April - is in competitive action this summer as he represents Denmark at the UEFA Under-21 European Championships.

Osula started the Danes' opening group game against Ukraine on the bench but produced a goal and assist after his introduction in the 71st minute, inspiring his country to a 3-2 comeback win as well as netting the winning goal in the closing stages.

The 21-year-old was handed a start in Denmark's clash against Netherlands on Sunday and netted twice in a 2-1 comeback win, securing qualification into the last-eight stage, before being replaced in the 72nd minute.

Denmark round off their Group D campaign with a clash with Finland on Wednesday, 18th June at Košická Futbalová Aréna and can secure top spot with a positive result, with Osula looking to add to his seven goals netted in his 11 outings for his country at under-21 level.

Tino Livramento

The versatile full-back was initially selected for an England Under-21s pre-EURO training squad ahead of this summer's European Under-21 Championship finals in Slovakia before being named in Lee Carsley's 23-man squad on Friday, 6th June.

The Young Lions, who won the UEFA U21 EURO title in 2023, got their defence off to a positive start with a 3-1 win against Czechia in their first group game on Thursday evening, with Livramento winning the Player of the Match award after grabbing an assist, setting up Jonathan Rowe's close-range effort.

England's youngsters were then held to a goalless draw against Slovenia on Sunday evening, with Livramento playing the full game in Nitra.

England will be aiming to secure top spot in Group B with a victory against current table toppers Germany on Wednesday, 18th June at the Stadion Pd Zoborom (kick-off 8pm BST), with the winner set to face either Spain or Italy in the quarter-final stage.

Bruno Guimarães

The Magpies captain was named in Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil squad ahead of their respective 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay in June.

The five-time world champions were held to a goalless draw against Ecuador at the Estadio Monumental on Thursday evening, with Guimarães starting the fixture before being substituted in the 92nd minute.

The Rio de Janeiro-born midfielder helped his country secure automatic qualification for next year's World Cup finals in North America following a 1-0 win against Paraguay on Tuesday night as Vinicius Júnior's goal on the stroke of half-time proved the difference at the Corinthians Arena, with Guimarães playing the full game in São Paulo.

Dan Burn and Anthony Gordon

Dan Burn and Anthony Gordon were both named in the England squad ahead of the Three Lions' international fixtures against Andorra and Senegal in June.

Thomas Tuchel's side claimed a 1-0 win against Andorra in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the RCDE Stadium on Saturday afternoon courtesy of Harry Kane's strike, with Burn playing the full 90 minutes in Barcelona while Gordon was introduced from the substitutes' bench in the 81st minute, replacing Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers.

England suffered a 3-1 home loss against Senegal at the City Ground on Tuesday, their first ever defeat against African opposition, with Gordon starting the friendly encounter before being replaced in the 58th minute by Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White. Burn was an unused substitute.

Odysseas Vlachodimos

Goalkeeper Vlachodimos is part of the Greece squad that will take on Slovakia and Bulgaria in home friendlies in June.

Capped 48 times by his country, the Magpies stopper was an unused substitute during a 4-1 win against Martin Dúbravka's Slovakia on Saturday as well as Tuesday's 4-0 friendly win against Bulgaria on Tuesday evening at the Pankritio Stadium in Crete.

Martin Dúbravka

Goalkeeper Dúbravka gained his 53rd senior international cap against Greece on Saturday at Pankritio Stadium in Crete but it proved an evening to forget following a 4-1 loss against the 2004 European Championship winners.

Dúbravka was then an unused substitute in Slovakia's 1-0 friendly defeat against Israel at the Nagyerdei Stadion in Hungary.

Alex Murphy

The Galway-born defender, who spent the second-half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Bolton Wanderers, was been named in the Republic of Ireland Under-21s squad ahead of next month's friendly double-header against Croatia and Qatar.

Murphy, who made his Premier League debut for the Magpies in a 4-1 win against Chelsea last season, earned his seventh cap at under-21 level as the young Boys in Green fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat against Croatia at the Gradski Stadion in Zagreb on Friday, with Murphy playing the full game.

Ireland's youngsters were held to a goalless draw against will Qatar Under-23s at the same venue on Tuesday, with Murphy introduced from the bench in the 74th minute.

Sandro Tonali

After a magnificent season at the heart of the Magpies' midfield, Tonali linked up with the Italy squad for their opening 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Norway and Moldova.

The four-time world champions, however, suffered a 3-0 away defeat against Norway on Friday following first-half efforts from Alexander Sørloth, Antonio Nusa and Erling Haaland, with Tonali playing the full game in Oslo before Italy head coach Luciano Spalletti announced his own sacking following the opening qualifier.

The Azzurri, though, recorded a 2-0 win against Moldova at Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore on Monday night, with Tonali playing the entirety of the contest as goals either side of half-time from Giacomo Raspadori and Andrea Cambiaso ended Spalletti's managerial reign in victorious fashion.

Travis Hernes

The teenage midfielder, who spent the second half of the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Danish side Aalborg BK, featured for Norway Under-20s during a 1-0 win against the United States.

Hernes, who has represented his country from under-17 to under-20 level, played 60 minutes in Cairo and was in action on Monday during a goalless draw against Saudi Arabia Under-20s, introduced from the bench at the restart in Egypt's capital city.

Alexander Isak

Capped 52 times by his country, scoring 16 goals, Isak was named in the Sweden squad ahead of next month's respective friendlies against Hungary and Algeria.

Despite playing the full 90 minutes of Newcastle's 1-0 defeat against Everton on the final day of the 2024/25 Premier League season, the Magpies striker has been forced to withdraw from the upcoming training camp due to a minor injury.

Lewis Miley

The teenage midfielder had been named in the England Under-19s squad ahead of this summer's European Under-19 Championship finals in Romania before withdrawing on Friday, 30th May.

Will Antwi's side, who topped their elite qualifying round table in March, will face Norway in their opening group game on Saturday, 14th June at the Ilie Oana Stadium in Ploiesti (kick-off 3pm BST) before taking on Germany at the Arcul de Triumf Stadium in Bucharest on Tuesday, 17th June (kick-off 6pm BST).

The Young Lions remain in the capital for their final group game against the Netherlands, which will take place at the Giulesti Stadium on Friday, 20th June (kick-off 6pm BST).
