Newcastle United staff and players may be out in Dubai enjoying some warm weather training, but the Magpies still have a host of players representing their country during the international break. Last week was dominated by Anthony Gordon’s potential England debut and the showdown between him and Bruno Guimaraes at Wembley Stadium.
Ultimately, it would be Guimaraes who came out of that match on the right side of the scoreline - although Gordon did impress on his international debut. Elsewhere, nations across Europe competed in friendly matches ahead of this summer’s European Championships in Germany.
Newcastle also had a few players representing their country at youth level - to mixed success. Here, we take a look at how a whole host of Newcastle United players have done whilst away on international duty:
13. Miguel Almiron (Paraguay)
Almiron was called up by Paraguay for their friendly against Russia. However, that match has been cancelled following terror attacks in Moscow last week. Paraguay have no other matches scheduled during this break. | Getty Images
14. Leo Shahar (England U17s)
Shahar played the full match for England Under-17s as they defeated Northern Ireland Under-17s 5-1 on Wednesday. The Magpies man grabbed a second-half assist in that game and then played 80 minutes during their 5-0 win over Hungary Under-17s on Saturday. He then started the 2-1 defeat against France which saw Sunderland's Chris Rigg sent off for England. | Wolves via Getty Images
