Newcastle United signed off for the international break in style at the City Ground, coming from behind to beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 to secure a third consecutive win across all competitions.
Eddie Howe’s side are not in action again until they host West Ham United at St James’ Park on Monday, November 25 and given the Magpies recent surge, the boss may feel the break has come at the wrong time.
The win over in-form Forest was enough to see Newcastle move up to eighth in what is a very condensed Premier League table, with the Magpies only one point behind third-place Chelsea.
As some of Newcastle’s key players jet off for international duty, everyone at the club will be hoping that they all return home safely from the final set of international fixtures of 2024. Here is a look at every Magpies player who is now away on international duty.
Lewis Hall, Anthony Gordon and Tino Livramento – England
Nations League
- Greece vs England (Thursday, November 14)
- England vs Republic of Ireland (Sunday, November 17)
Full-back Lewis Hall received his first senior England call-up for this month’s Nations League double-header and will be hoping to catch the eye of his former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel before the German takes over from interim boss Lee Carsley.
Gordon has played in three of England’s four post-Euro 2024 fixtures as he looks to nail down a regular place in the Three Lions starting XI.
Tino Livramento was also a late call-up on Monday, when he was promoted from the under-21s to the senior squad ahead of a number of expected withdrawals.
Alexander Isak – Sweden (Emil Krafth withdrawn)
Nations League
- Sweden vs Slovakia (Saturday, November 16)
- Sweden vs Azerbaijan (Tuesday, November 19)
Alexander Isak returns to the Sweden squad after missing out through injury last time and will earn his 50th cap if he features in both matches.
The Magpies striker had been called up alongside defender Emil Krafth, but the Swedish FA have confirmed the right-back has since withdrawn with an injury.
Sandro Tonali – Italy
Nations League
- Belgium vs Italy (Thursday, November 14)
- Italy vs France (Sunday, November 17)
Tonali is in the 23-man Italy squad for two high profile fixtures as the Azzurri take on Belgium and France this month.
Bruno Guimaraes – Brazil
World Cup qualifiers
- Venezuela vs Brazil (Thursday, November 14)
- Brazil vs Uruguay (Wednesday, November 20)
The Newcastle midfielder faces a World Cup qualifying double-header for Brazil after he was again called-up by the Selecao.
Miguel Almiron – Paraguay
World Cup qualifiers
- Paraguay vs Argentina (Thursday, November 14)
- Bolivia vs Paraguay (Tuesday, November 19)
Paraguay sit sixth in the South American World Cup qualification table and will be looking to Almiron for inspiration ahead of two key fixtures.
Martin Dubravka – Slovakia
National League
- Sweden vs Slovakia (Saturday, November 16)
- Slovakia vs Estonia (Tuesday, November 19)
The goalkeeper has only played 45 minutes of League Cup football for Newcastle so far this season, but remains a regular for his country and could win his 50th cap during the break.
Odysseas Vlachodimos – Greece
Nations League
- Greece vs England (Thursday, November 14)
- Finland vs Greece (Sunday, November 17)
Like Dubravka, Vlachodimos has also only played 45 minutes of domestic football so far this term, but will hope to feature for a Greece side that begin the break ahead of England in the Nations League B Group 2.
Jamal Lewis – Northern Ireland
Nations League
- Northern Ireland vs Belarus (Friday, November 15)
- Luxembourg vs Northern Ireland (Monday, November 18)
Left-back Jamal Lewis will fly back from his loan spell with Brazilian side Sao Paulo for his county’s double-header in the Nations League.
Youth team call-ups
- Trevan Sanusi, Leo Shahar and Sean Neave – England U18s
- Travis Hernes – Norway U20s
