[Albion] Albion players on international duty - October 2023

[AZ Gull]

Another international break rolls around and Albion have had, I believe, 19* players (at full and underage levels) called up for duty.

*This is including the on-loan Ansu Fati, so 18 if you don't count loanees as Albion players.

The full list of the 19 is as follows (senior level unless otherwise indicated):

Ansu Fati (Spain - not in the original squad but a late call-up)
Billy Gilmour (Scotland)
Bart Verbruggen (Netherlands)
Evan Ferguson (ROI)
Kaoru Mitoma (Japan)
Lewis Dunk (England)
Simon Adingra (Ivory Coast)
Pascal Gross (Germany)
Tariq Lamptey (Ghana)
Abdallah Sima (Senegal - not in the original squad but a late replacement for Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson)
Jack Hinshelwood (England U-19)
Mark O'Mahony (ROI U-19)
Adam Brett (Wales U-17)
James Beadle (England U-21)
Kacper Kozlowski (Poland U-21)
Killian Cahill (ROI U-21)
Andrew Moran (ROI U-21)
Yasin Ayari (Sweden U-21)
Ed Turns (Wales U-21)

A couple of these players will not actually be in action - Kaoru Mitoma withdrew from the Japanese squad due to "poor health" and Wales (and Adam Brett) will not be playing their UEFA U-17 European Championship qualifying round group matches that were due to be hosted in Israel (for fairly obvious reasons).

The Albion website contains a list of the players on duty and a handful of those are missing from my list for the following reasons:-
Ruairi McConville - I have it on good authority that he is on standby for the Northern Ireland U-21 squad (and therefore isn't actually in the squad, as such - at least as of now).
Joshua Duffus - I can find no evidence he has been called up for the England U-19 squad so can only presume he might also be on standby.
Imari Samuels - again, I see no evidence he is in the England U-20 squad (or "England Men's Elite League squad" as the FA now call it) so presumably he is on standby.

I'll produce a daily list of Albion players in action so NSC'ers can keep abreast of what's going on.

The international action gets underway on Wednesday with a couple of Albion youngsters potentially involved.

Jack Hinshelwood will be hoping to get the call for the England U-19 side as they face hosts Montenegro in the first of their three UEFA U-19 European Championship qualifying round group matches. They will then face Wales on Saturday and Austria next Tuesday.

Mark O'Mahony should get the start for the ROI U-19 side as they face Scotland in a friendly at the Pinatar Arena in Spain. The Irish will then face the Faroe Islands at the same venue on Saturday.

the fact he is playing at Shoreham tonight suggests you are right.

Great work @AZ Gull . Its always good to know that we have talent coming through and the level that they are at.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Excited to see both Gross and Dunk add to their deserved caps.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Lamptey pulled out injured. Shock.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Splendid info, thanks

 

[FieldingBLUE]

Lamptey pulled out injured. Shock.

True shocker. I was excited to see him play for the Black Stars next week but to be fair, would rather he be healthy for Albion.

Jack Hinshelwood started for the England U-19s against Montenegro. They are still 0-0 after playing for an hour.

 

[AZ Gull]

Mark O'Mahony started for the Republic of Ireland U-19s against Scotland at the Pinatar Arena. The ROI won 2-0 with two second half goals from Crystal Palace's Franco Umeh - not sure yet how long Mark played for.

There could be four Albion players in action on Thursday:-

Billy Gilmour is in the Scotland squad as they travel to.......Spain.

Goalkeeper James Beadle is in the England U-21 squad as they host Serbia at the City Ground, Nottingham in a UEFA 2025 U-21 European Championship Group F qualifier.

Kacper Kozlowski is in the Poland U-21 squad as they travel to Slovakia for a friendly.

Kacper Kozlowski withdrew from the Poland U-21 squad on Monday through injury.
