Wanderers have four players on international duty during the current break, with two of them set to face each other 4,000 miles away.
Josh Sheehan, Gaizka Larrazabal, Chris Forino and Thierry Gale all reported for duty with their countries, with Forino and Gale set to go head-to-head in a CONCACAF Nations League match.
Forino is part of the St Lucia squad which plays games against Bermuda and Barbados, with the home game against Gale’s Barbados on Tuesday, 17th November potentially crucial to deciding who tops Group B of League B of the competition to earn automatic qualification to next summer’s CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament.
The first fixture for Gale – whose six goals for Barbados make him the third top scorer in the Nations League group stage – sees the Wanderers’ winger face Guadeloupe tomorrow (Thursday, 12th November) before Forino returns to international action for the first time in two years 24 hours later. All games kick off at 7pm GMT.
Sheehan is again a mainstay of the Wales’ squad for their Nations League fixtures away to Norway on Saturday, 14th November (KO 5pm) and at home to Portugal on Tuesday, 17th November (KO 7.45pm).
The Whites’ midfielder and current team captain in place of the injured Eoin Toal – who was unable to take his place in the Northern Ireland squad – will be looking to add to his 23 caps and help Wales to add to their one win so far in the top league of the European competition.
Larrazabal, meanwhile, has been called up by the Basque Football Federation for a fixture at home to Venezuela which will form part of the celebrations of the 90th anniversary of the forming of the first Basque Government.
The game will be played at the Estadio San Mamés (above), where Larrazabal previously played for Athletic Bilbao, on Saturday, 14th November (KO 7pm GMT).
The Wanderers’ right-back is in line to add to his solitary appearance for the Basque Country, which was also represented by his father – the legendary former Athletic Bilbao defender Aitor Larrazabal.
“I’m very proud,” said Gaizka. “It's very important for me to go back home, to stay with my family, my friends, who can come to watch the game, and of course playing for all the fans, all the Basque people, for our culture, our language, it's amazing.
“Going back (to the stadium) after eight years is going to be nice because it's kind of home for me.”
Good luck to all the lads before they head back to re-join the Whites ahead of our next Championship fixture at home to Portsmouth on Saturday, 21st November (KO 3pm). Tickets for that game are available to buy HERE
