Republic of Ireland
Goalkeeper Mark Travers started each Cherries game in the Championship until illness forced him out of the side at Hull City on Saturday.
As a result, Travers will no longer be linking up with Stephen Kenny's squad in the forthcoming break.
Denmark
Strong form saw Philip Billing recalled for the Denmark squad, though the midfielder has since pulled out of Kasper Hjulmand's squad through illness.
Republic of Ireland under-21s
Gavin Kilkenny has impressed with his first run of games in the first team squad at AFC Bournemouth and has been called into the under-21s squad for his country.
The side take on the following games over the coming week or so:
Friday 3rd September | Bosnia and Herzegovina (a), Zenica | European U21 Championship qualifiers |
Tuesday 7th September | Luxembourg (a), Dudelange | European U21 Championship qualifiers |
England under-20s
Incoming loan signing Morgan Rogers, who has already played for the Three Lions at four younger age levels, has received his maiden call up for the England under-20s.
The side have just the one game over the break, taking on Romania under-20s at St George's Park on Monday 6th September.
Red list absentees
Jefferson Lerma and Jordan Zemura are currently expected to stay in the UK as they avoid going to red list countries.
