A total of 14 Leicester City stars are set for international action across four continents over the next two weeks as the final international break of 2015 gets underway. 

Among those players is Kasper Schmeichel, who will hope to help his Denmark side qualify for Euro 2016 as they take on Sweden in a two-legged play off. 

The two sides first cross paths in Sweden at the Friends Arena, Solna on Saturday 14 November, before a return leg on Tuesday 17 November at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen. 

Schmeichel will be bidding to join six more Foxes who have a chance of making it to France next summer. Jamie Vardy, Gökhan Inler, Andy King, Tom Lawrence, Christian Fuchs and Andrej Kramarić have already helped their nations book their spots at next year’s finals. 

Vardy will hope to transform his red hot Club form onto the international stage for England in their upcoming friendlies against Spain and host nation France, having scored 12 goals in 12 Barclays Premier League fixtures for the Foxes this season. 

City’s No.9 could add to his four Three Lions caps when Roy Hodgson’s outfit head to the Rico Perez Stadium, Alicante on Friday 13 November to take on the current European champions. 


A trip to Wembley Stadium then follows on Tuesday 17 November as England round off their 2015 action against Euro 2016 host nation France. 


Another City star on the plane to France will be defender Fuchs, who skippered Austria to nine wins and a draw in a dominant Group G qualification campaign. 


Austria’s international friendly against Switzerland in Vienna on Tuesday 17 November could see two Foxes trade blows as both Fuchs and Inler could don the captain’s armbands for each side. 


Inler’s Switzerland are in action prior to that clash as they head to Slovakia on Friday 13 November in an international friendly. 


King and Lawrence’s Wales, who finished second in Group B with a stunning Euro 2016 qualification campaign, face the Netherlands on Friday 13 November. 


Chris Coleman, who steered Wales to qualification for a first major tournament since 1958, handed Lawrence his first senior cap against Andorra last time out and the youngster could potentially be involved along with King against the Dutch. 


Striker Kramarić’s Croatia conclude City’s senior international representation on the European continent on Tuesday 17 November. 


Croatia finished second in qualification Group H to seal their spot at next year’s competition and take on Russia in an international friendly at the Kuban Stadium, Krasnodar. 


In-form winger Riyad Mahrez will hope to help Algeria overcome Tanzania in a two-legged 2018 World Cup qualifying clash. 


The first leg will take place in Tanzania on Saturday 14 November, before a return leg on Tuesday 17 November in Algeria. 


Another Fox who could be in 2018 World Cup qualifying action on the African continent is Academy graduate Jeffrey Schlupp, whose Ghana side take on Comoros over two legs. 


A trip to Comoros, ranked 193rd in the latest FIFA world rankings, comes first on Friday 13 November, while the second leg is played on Tuesday 17 November in Ghana. 


World Cup qualifying continues with Wes Morgan’s Jamaica, who come up against Panama and Haiti over the international break. 


The Reggae Boyz first entertain Panama in Kingston on Friday 13 November then head to Haiti on Tuesday 17 November. 


Over on the Asian continent, Shinji Okazaki’s Japan are too in World Cup qualifying action with fixtures against Singapore and Cambodia. 


The City forward’s nation head to Singapore on Thursday 12 November, before a trip to Cambodia follows on Tuesday 17 November. 


Harry Panayiotou – the only Leicester City player ever to score an international hat-trick – has earned another call up for St. Kitts and Nevis for their upcoming fixtures against Andorra and Estonia. 


Panayiotou’s nation kick off international friendly action against Andorra on Thursday 12 November and then face Estonia on Thursday 17 November. 


Young defender Ben Chilwell could be involved in England Under-20s’ double-header in France after making his first team debut for the Foxes last month. 


The young Lions will first face the French in St. Brieuc on Wednesday 11 November, before a second clash three days later in Ploufragan. 


Finally, striker Simonas Stankevicius could continue his involvement for Lithuania’s Under-21s as they take on Ireland on Friday 13 November and Italy on Tuesday 17 November.
