Nick Pope, Connor Roberts, Wayne Hennessey, Wout Weghorst, Nathan Collins and Maxwel Cornet have all been called up by their respective countries for this month.

Pope has rejoined Gareth Southgate's squad, with Roberts and Hennessey linking up with Wales, Weghorst returning to the Netherlands set-up, Cornet joining the Ivory Coast side and Collins being included in Stephen Kenny's Ireland squad.

England: Following the Three Lions' 2-1 win against Switzerland on Saturday, Pope and his teammates face Cornet and Ivory Coast tonight in a friendly at Wembley. The goalkeeper was on the bench in England's first game of this break.

Wales: Both Hennessey and Roberts were part of Saturday's squad that moved a step closer to qualifying for their first World Cup since 1958, with victory over Austria in their play-off semi-final. The pair could feature in tonight's friendly against Czech Republic in Cardiff, with Wayne handed the captains armband and in line to get his 100th cap for the Dragons.

Netherlands: Weghorst was on the bench for the Netherlands' friendly against Denmark on Saturday, but the striker may make an appearance in tonight's starting XI for Louis Van Gaal's side, who face Germany in Amsterdam.

Ireland: Collins is in the squad that host Lithuania this evening; the second game in the Republic of Ireland's schedule this break, after an impressive 2-2 draw with Belgium on the weekend, where Collins was an unused substitute.

Ivory Coast: The Elephants travel to Wembley to face England this evening, after suffering defeat against France on Friday. Cornet was on the bench for Friday's game, but could come against teammate Pope tonight.
