Nation Round-Up
Czech Republic - Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Coufal
Souček and Coufal were once again called up to the Czechia National Team, where they faced both Georgia and Ukraine in the Nations League Group Stage.
Souček was able to grab a late goal from the penalty spot during the 3-2 win over Ukraine, helping put Czechia's first points on the table. Coufal started both games, impressing over the course of both.
England - Jarrod Bowen
Despite receiving little game time under new England interim manager, Lee Carsley, Bowen was still able to show moments of magic and promise in both games he played.
Bowen was able to complete the most take-ons for England against Finland (3), despite only playing for 11 minutes.
Greece - Konstantinos Mavropanos
Mavropanos and Greece also impressed on the international stage, as the Greeks were able to keep two clean sheets against both Finland and Ireland.
"Dinos" was able to make the most tackles in Greece's 3-0 win over Finland and looked to have been one of the best players on the pitch.
Germany - Niclas Füllkrug
Füllkrug featured for Germany in their first Nations League match against Hungary, opening the scoring after just 27 minutes.
The German has now been involved in eight goals in just seven starts for his national side, and is the first West Ham player to have scored for Germany.
However, Füllkrug reportedly picked up an Achilles injury during training which will see him out of action for two-three weeks.
Jamaica - Michail Antonio
The Reggae Boys saw themselves playing in the CONCACAF Nations League during the international break, as Jamaica faced both Cuba and Honduras.
Antonio was amongst the goals in Jamaica's win against Honduras, scoring the winning goal from the penalty spot in the 76th minute.
Brazil - Lucas Paqueta
Lucas Paqueta started both games for the Brazilian national team, featuring against both Ecuador and Paraguay in their World Cup Qualifying matches.
Paqueta grabbed himself an assist for Brazil's only goal of the international break, setting up Real Madrid's Rodrygo against Ecuador.
