At the halfway stage in the international break, it has been a positive start to fixtures for our Foxes abroad, with three of the five scoring four goals between them for their respected countries.

Starting with Cain, the Welsh centre-forward is in red hot form at the moment, scoring five in her last three games, following another sensational brace in a 4-0 win over Albania in Wrexham.

Remaining second in League B Group 1 with seven points, and behind Czech Republic only on goal difference, Cymru are back in action on Saturday evening, when they play Albania once more, in a 5pm kick-off.

Sari Kees opened the scoring against Scotland this week.

Elsewhere in Europe, Kees was an unlikely scorer for Belgium, who drew 1-1 with Scotland at Easter Road in Edinburgh.

Opening the scoring after 15 minutes, the Red Flames sit second in League B Group 4 with seven points, the same as Scotland, who they face again on Saturday evening (7:30pm kick-off).

The final goalscorer was van Egmond, who after becoming Australia’s all-time record appearance holder during the last break, was on target after just five minutes in a 5-0 friendly win over Malawi; former City defender Courtney Nevin to thank for the assist.

Van Egmond scored after just five minutes for Australia.

Chantelle Swaby and Jamaica kept up their 100 per cent record in CONCACAF World Cup Qualification, with a 4-0 win over Antigua and Barbuda, in which the defender played the full 90, as Manchester City’s Khadija Shaw scored a hat-trick.

The Reggae Girlz are back in action on Sunday morning, when they face Guyana in Group B (1am kick-off).

Lastly, Olivia McLoughlin represented England’s Under-23s, coming off the bench late on in a 1-0 win over the Netherlands, in which Isobel Goodwin scored the only goal on 46 minutes.

This means the young Lionesses will face Sweden in Friday’s final of the friendly competition, with a 1pm kick-off.
