Söyüncü, 22, was the only Foxes representative to start for his nation, while midfielder Andy King came off the bench in the 50th minute of Wales' 4-1 defeat by Spain at Principality Stadium, Cardiff.

After joining City in the summer, Söyüncü has since appeared for Turkey on three occasions and played for the Club's Development Squad three times over the past two months.

King, meanwhile, replaced Ethan Ampadu in Cardiff as Ryan Giggs' Wales side suffered a 4-1 friendly defeat by 2010 FIFA World Cup winners Spain.

Borussia Dortmund's Paco Alcácer scored twice for Luis Enrique's men, while Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos and Real Betis man Marc Bartra added to the scoreline. Sam Vokes netted late on for the hosts.

On Friday evening, nine Foxes could be in international action, with England regular Harry Maguire being joined by Ben Chilwell and first-time call-up James Maddison in Gareth Southgate's squad.

The Three Lions tackle Croatia in the UEFA Nations League in Rijeka (7:45pm BST kick-off). Jonny Evans' Northern Ireland, meanwhile, face a trip to Austria (7:45pm BST kick-off).

Rachid Ghezzal and Islam Slimani (Algeria) and Daniel Amartey (Ghana) could also be in action for AFCON qualifying encounters with Benin (8:30pm BST kick-off) and Sierra Leone (5pm BST kick-off).

Elsewhere, youngsters Filip Benković (Croatia U21s), Daniel Iversen (Denmark U21s) and Alex Pascanu (Romania U21s) will also be hoping to add to their caps tallies.
