- Four Leicester City players played for their countries on Monday- Victor Kristiansen made his Denmark debut from the bench - Jonny Evans featured in Northern Ireland's 1-0 loss to Kazakhstan- Danny Ward saved a penalty during Wales' defeat by Turkey- Brandon Cover also made his bow for Jamaica's senior side- James Maddison did not feature in England's 7-0 win over North Macedonia

Kristiansen was called up to the senior Denmark squad earlier this week after initially being selected for his country's Under-21s side. The young full-back then came off the bench for the final six minutes of a 1-1 away draw with Slovenia on Monday. The Danes sit third in UEFA EURO 2024 Qualifying Group H.

Brandon Cover, the LCFC Development Squad midfielder, also made his senior debut for Jamaica earlier in the day. The Reggae Boyz lost out 2-1 to Jordan in a friendly in Austria.

Evans was handed his 102nd cap by manager Michael O'Neill as Northern Ireland lost 1-0 to Kazakhstan in Qualifying Group H at Windsor Park. The Foxes centre-back played 64 minutes in Belfast. That loss keeps his nation's tally at three points and leaves them fifth in the six-team pool. Finland lead the way after four matchdays on nine points.

Elsewhere, Ward played from start to finish in a 2-0 defeat for Wales by Turkey in Samsun. The Foxes keeper did, however, save Hakan Çalhanoğlu's penalty but Umut Nayir and Arda Güler got the winning goals for the Crescent-Stars. Cymru now sit fourth in Group D, on four points from four games. Turkey are the leaders with nine points.

James Maddison, on the other hand, was an unused substitute for England in their 7-0 success over North Macedonia in Manchester. Check back to LCFC.com on Tuesday for another international update, with Wout Faes and Timothy Castagne (both Belgium) hoping to be included for their nations.
