newcastleunited.com keeps tabs on the Magpies stars who could line for their countries this month...

Bruno Guimarães

Guimarães was in action for Brazil as the Seleção came from behind to beat Chile 2-1 in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos, with the Magpies midfielder introduced from the restart before providing an assist for Luis Henrique's 89th minute winner in Santiago.

Brazil claimed a 4-0 win against Peru on Tuesday courtesy of Raphinha's brace and strikes from Andreas Pereira and Luis Henrique, with Guimarães playing 79 minutes at Arena BRB Mané Garrincha.

Miguel Almirón

Almirón started Paraguay's 2026 World Cup qualifier against Ecuador at Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado, playing the opening 75 minutes of a goalless draw in Quito.

The United winger was back in action on Tuesday evening as La Albirroja came from behind to beat Venezuela 2-1 at Estadio Defensores del Chaco.

Almirón played the opening 80 minutes, gaining his 62nd international cap in the process.

Lewis Hall

Hall was named in the England Under-21 squad for their final Under-21 European Championship qualifiers against Ukraine at Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium and Azerbaijan at Bristol City's Ashton Gate.

The 20-year-old left-back played the full 90 minutes of the Young Lions' 2-1 win against Ukraine as James McAtee's late brace secured a dramatic comeback victory on the South coast.

The Slough-born youngster featured as a second-half substitute in a 7-0 win against Azerbaijan on Tuesday night, replacing Callum Doyle in the 71st minute before former Magpie Elliot Anderson netted for the hosts a minute later.

Will Osula

Forward Osula made his first start for Newcastle United in their Carabao Cup victory over AFC Wimbledon, helped Denmark Under-21s secure qualification for next year's European Under-21 Championship finals in Slovakia following a 2-0 win against Iceland on Tuesday night.

Osula was introduced from the bench on the hour mark at the Velje Stadium, with goals from Tochi Chukwuani and Mathias Kvistgaarden securing a valuable victory for the Young Danes.

Jamal Lewis

Lewis - currently on loan at São Paulo in Brazil - started Northern Ireland's UEFA Nations League game against Belarus at the ZTE Arena on Saturday, which finished goalless in Hungary.

The Luton-born full-back earned his 40th international cap at senior level as Michael O'Neill's side beat Bulgaria 5-0 at Windsor Park on Tuesday night. Lewis was an unused substitute.

Sandro Tonali

Tonali helped Italy seal a 4-1 victory over Israel in Hungary on Monday night, again playing the full 90 minutes for his country.

Giovanni Di Lorenzo's brace and strikes from Mateo Retegui and Davide Frattesi made sure of the win for the Azzurri, with Tonali now set to return to Tyneside ahead of Saturday's visit of Brighton & Hove Albion.

Earlier in the week, the United playmaker earned his 18th international cap as ten-man Italy claimed a 2-2 draw against Belgium on Thursday at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

The former European champions raced into two-goal lead following strikes from Andrea Cambiaso and Retegui but, after the hosts were reduced to ten men following Lorenzo Pellegrini's red card, Luciano Spalletti's side squandered a two-goal lead. Tonali played the opening 80 minutes.

Emil Krafth

Krafth picked up his 49th international cap for Sweden in a 2-2 away draw against Slovakia on Friday evening, entering the field of play in the second minute of stoppage-time.

And the versatile defender then started on Monday night as his side sealed a comfortable 3-0 win in Estonia, reaching his half-century of international caps in the process. The 30-year-old played the full 90 minutes.

Trevan Sanusi and Leo Shahar

The teenage pair, who joined the Magpies from Birmingham City and Wolverhampton Wanderers respectively last summer, were been named in the England Under-18 squad for a four-team tournament this month.

The Young Lions suffered a 2-0 defeat against Sweden at the Marbella Football Centre on Friday with Shahar playing the opening 69 minutes and Sanusi featuring as a second-half substitute.

Liam Bramley's side faced Ukraine on Monday, with Shahar captaining the Young Lions and Sanusi, also handed a start, providing an assist in a 3-1 win at the Marbella Football Centre.

Odysseas Vlachodimos

The former Benfica goalkeeper made his debut for the Magpies in their Carabao Cup win over AFC Wimbledon, and played the full 90 minutes of Greece's 2-1 triumph against England at Wembley.

Odysseas, nearing 50 international caps for his country, started in-between the sticks for Greece's UEFA Nations League visit of the Republic of Ireland, keeping a clean sheet as the EURO 2004 winners claimed a 2-0 win in Athens.

Anthony Gordon, Tino Livramento and Nick Pope

Gordon was awarded a third consecutive start for England in their UEFA Nations League clash against Greece on Thursday night but the Three Lions suffered a surprising 2-1 defeat at Wembley Stadium.

After a goalless first-half, Vangelis Pavlidis opened the scoring and, despite Jude Bellingham's late leveller, the Greek striker's stoppage-time effort proved the difference.

Gordon played the opening hour before being replaced by Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins while Livramento, initially named in the under-21 squad before being promoted to the senior side by Lee Carsley after three players withdrew through injury, and Pope were both unused substitutes.

England, however, returned to winning ways against Finland on Sunday, claiming a 3-1 win at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium courtesy of strikes from Jack Grealish, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Declan Rice. Gordon, Livramento and Pope were all unused substitutes.
