- Up to 11 members of Leicester City's squad are set for international action on Tuesday_- New loan signing Aleksandar Dragović (Austria)_ may feature again for his country- Shinji Okazaki's Japan, who face Saudi Arabia, have already qualified for the World Cup- Algeria take on Zambia, where City duo Riyad Mahrez and Islam Slimani are i__n contention

After Monday saw Kasper Schmeichel (Denmark), Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho (Nigeria) appear, Craig Shakespeare’s international contingent will shortly return to the UK.

At Stade de l’Unité at 3:30pm, Daniel Amartey’s Ghana, just two points adrift of second place Egypt, will look to climb the African Group E rankings when they take on Congo.

The City midfielder played the full 90 minutes on Friday evening as his country drew 1-1 last time out against the Congolese in Kumasi.

At 5pm, Development Squad goalkeeper Daniel Iversen will be in contention to appear for Denmark in an UEFA EURO U21 qualifier in Aalborg against Lithuania.

Meanwhile, Japan, who qualified for the 2018 World Cup on Thursday, then travel to King Abdullah Sports City Stadium to face Saudi Arabia in Asian Group B (6:30pm KO).

Shinji Okazaki, 31, replaced FC Köln's Yuya Osako in the 87th minute for Vahid Halilhodžić men as the Japanese overcame Australia 2-0 in Saitama last week.

Midfielder George Thomas could also appear for Wales Under-20s in Portugal at 7:15pm having helped set up two and converting their third in a 3-0 win over Switzerland last Friday.

Following a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands four days ago, the England Under-21s, with Demarai Gray and Ben Chilwell among their ranks, host Latvia at Vitality Stadium (7:45pm KO).

Andy King may then cement his status as Leicester City’s highest-ever international appearance maker while at the Club when Wales contest an away clash against Moldova.

Chris Colemen’s Welshmen kick-off at Zimbru Stadium at 7:45pm. In the same group, new loan signing Aleksandar Dragović could also represent Austria verses Georgia in Vienna (7:45pm KO).

At 8pm, Alex Pascanu’s Romania Under-21s face Switzerland in their latest EURO qualifier in Ovidiu.

Finally, City's Algerian duo Riyad Mahrez and Islam Slimani complete the Club’s international representation in what is likely to be a tense World Cup qualifier with Zambia.

The Desert Foxes fell to a 3-1 defeat in the corresponding fixture on Saturday.
