Down in the capital, Jordan Ayew is set to come up against Wilfred Ndidi when Ghana face Nigeria at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium in the Unity Cup on Wednesday evening (7pm kick-off). Ndidi could then be in action again in a friendly against Russia, flying out to Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on Friday 6 June (6pm kick-off).

Under-21s star Brandon Cover has been called up for the second time to play for Jamaica against Trinidad & Tobago in the same tournament - a 7pm kick-off in west London on Tuesday night.

It’s then a busy June for the Reggae Boyz, playing two FIFA World Cup second round qualifiers against British Virgin Islands and Guatemala, before a trio of CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage matches versus Guatemala, Guadeloupe and Panama.

Two games to come for El Khannouss.

Bilal El Khannouss, meanwhile, may feature in Morocco’s back-to-back friendlies at Fez Stadium, starting by hosting Tunisia on Friday 6 June, prior to tackling Benin three days later (both 9pm kick-offs).

There’s also friendly action for Zambia, with Patson Daka in line for minutes against Tunisia on Tuesday 10 June and Woyo Coulibaly's Mali, who face DR Congo at Stade de la Source in France on Thursday 5 June.

Collecting one point from their opening Group C fixture, Hamza Choudhury’s Bangladesh have an Asian Cup Qualification Play-Off against Singapore coming up on 10 June (11am kick-off) as they bid to reach the tournament finals.

Heading back into Europe, there are FIFA World Cup Qualifiers for Wout Faes and Belgium, travelling to Toše Proeski Arena for a meeting with North Macedonia on Friday 6 June, before hosting Wales at King Baudouin Stadium on Monday 9 June (both 7:45pm kick-offs), kicking off their Group J campaign.

McAteer made his international debut against England last year.

Elsewhere, Jannik Vestergaard is in the Denmark squad facing Northern Ireland at Parken Stadium on Saturday 7 June and Lithuania at Nature Energy Park three days later (both 6pm kick-offs).

Republic of Ireland have a duo of friendlies too, with Kasey McAteer included in the squad to play Senegal at Aviva Stadium on Friday 6 June and travel to Luxembourg four days later (both 7:45pm kick-offs).

Development Squad forward Chris Popov is back with the Wales Under-21s squad and hoping to win his 13th youth cap as they take on Norway on Friday 6 June.

And fellow Under-21s star Louis Page has been representing England Under-17s in the UEFA European U17 Championships over the course of the last two weeks. See how the Young Lions fared in Albania.
