International football is on the agenda for the first time in 2026 over the next fortnight, with a number of our players at all levels jetting off to represent their countries.
There are crucial World Cup qualification play-offs coming up for Radu Dragusin, who is back in Romania’s squad for the first time since November, 2024, after missing the bulk of 2025 through injury, as well as Lucas Bergvall with Sweden and the on-loan pair of Jamie Donley with Northern Ireland and Tyrese Hall with Jamaica, the latter having earned his first senior international call-up this month.
Plenty of friendlies are also taking place as the countries who have already qualified for this summer’s tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico continue to tune themselves up for the showpiece event.
Numerous Academy players will also be on duty for their respective nations this month, although Reiss Elliott-Parris has not travelled after initially being named in the senior Guyana squad for the first time.
