Our guide to the international fixtures involving some of the stars of Becky Langley's Newcastle United Women side...

Elysia Boddy

Magpies midfielder Boddy won her first cap for England Under-23s in their goalless Euro League draw with Norway on Thursday night.

Emma Coates' side were held at the Fredrikstad Stadium - but United star Boddy came off the bench to replace Ruby Grant with 62 minutes gone as her side looked for an opener.

It didn't arrive, but it was still a hugely significant occasion for the 20-year-old, who had been capped at under-19 level before receiving her first under-23 call-up earlier this month.

Her side will now return home to face Sweden at Doncaster Rovers' Eco-Power Stadium on Monday, 2nd December (kick-off 7pm GMT).

Lois Joel

Defender Joel is part of the Wales squad which will face the Republic of Ireland in the UEFA Women's EURO play-off final over two legs.

Rhian Wilkinson's charges play the first leg at the Cardiff City Stadium on Friday, 29th November (kick-off 7:15pm GMT) before heading to Dublin's Aviva Stadium for the second leg on Tuesday, 3rd December (kick-off 7:30pm GMT).

Joel currently has five senior caps to her name.

Shania Hayles

In-form Hayles has once again been named in the Jamaica squad for their friendlies with South Africa in the upcoming window.

The Reggae Girlz play South Africa on Friday, 29th November and Monday, 2nd December, with both games kicking off at 9pm GMT and taking place at the Catherine Hall Stadium at the Montego Bay Sports Complex.
