ASSE could see three new senior internationals during nearly three-week break | OneFootball

According to Le Progres, nine ASSE players have been called to senior national teams for the first international window of the season, which will last nearly three weeks. The Verts could also see three players earn maiden caps.

Kevin Pedro has received a first call-up from DR Congo for the opening two matchdays of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Sohaib Naïr has twice been summoned by Algeria but has yet to play, so he hopes this window brings a debut.

Mamour Ndiaye, with Senegal, is not the Lions of Teranga’s starting goalkeeper, so his chances of a first cap are slimmer. Augustine Boakye, with Ghana, is the fourth Vert involved in the AFCON qualifying programme.

In Europe, Aron Csongvai of Hungary and Zuriko Davitashvili of Georgia share the same Nations League group, setting up a club-mates head-to-head. The competition will occupy European national teams for four matches in this window.

Irvin Cardona, with Malta, and Tamar Svetlin, with Slovenia, are also part of the long-running competition.

Ben Old, fresh from completing his first full match of the season at Metz, faces a long haul. New Zealand head to China for friendlies, then to Japan for the Kirin Cup, a friendly tournament.
