Busy Fortnight For International Foxes

Sixteen Leicester City stars are in contention to represent their countries over what promises to be a thrilling fortnight of international action.

- Jamie Vardy and Harry Maguire could feature during England's friendlies against Germany and Brazil
- Kasper Schmeichel's Denmark face a two-legged World Cup qualifier with the Republic of Ireland
- Development Squad striker Admiral Muskwe has been selected for the Zimbabwe senior squad 
- Winger Riyad Mahrez could line up against Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi & Ahmed Musa

While five stars from the Club’s Development Squad have been selected, including a maiden Zimbabwe call-up for Admiral Muskwe, 11 from Claude Puel's first team have also been chosen.

England duo Jamie Vardy and Harry Maguire could line up alongside each other for international friendlies against Germany and Brazil at Wembley Stadium.

Kasper Schmeichel's Denmark, meanwhile, face a massive two-legged World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland after finishing second to Poland in European Group E.

Jamie Vardy has six goals in 17 appearances for the Three Lions.

Andy King, the only man in City’s history to notch up 43 international appearances while at the Club, will hope to earn another two caps for Wales against France and Panama.

Elsewhere, Nigerians Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi and Ahmed Musa, are set to come face-to-face with one of their Foxes colleagues on Friday.

Riyad Mahrez, who has netted three goals in five games for City, can add to his tally of 30 caps for the Desert Foxes when they host Nigeria at the Stade Mohamed-Hamlaoui in Constantine.

Also on Friday, Development Squad pair Alex Pascanu and George Thomas may line up against one another as Romania Under-21s take on their Welsh counterparts in Bangor.

Riyad Mahrez has been a consistent performer for Algeria.

England Under-21s winger Demarai Gray, on the other hand, can continue his excellent form for club and country for a UEFA EURO U21 qualifier against Ukraine on Friday.

Ben Chilwell, however, was forced to withdraw from Aidy Boothroyd's young Lions squad through injury.

Defenders Aleksandar Dragović (Austria) and Daniel Amartey (Ghana) could also be in action with clashes against Uruguay and Egypt on the agenda respectively.

The Foxes winger wheels away after scoring in a 2019 Euro U21 Qualifying match against Latvia at Vitality Stadium.

Young Danish shot-stopper Daniel Iversen has once again been afforded the chance to impress for his nation's Under-20s outfit when they face Poland on Tuesday. 

Finally, Harvey Barnes, currently excelling on loan at Barnsley, has been called upon by the England U20s while defender Darnell Johnson is on standby.
