Where Newcastle United players are heading on international duty and photos in action for their countries

The Magpies have a number of players heading out on international duty this week.

Newcastle United will take a well-earned break from a hectic start to the season over the next ten days as the focus turns towards international action.

Eddie Howe’s side have made a mixed start to the campaign with five draws, one defeat and one win from their opening seven games in the Premier League.

They have secured progression into round three of the Carabao Cup after a hard-earned win at League Two side Tranmere Rovers and their prize for the victory at Prenton Park is a home tie against Premier League rivals Crystal Palace.

Not all of Howe’s players will be taking a rest from competitive action during the break after several of United’s senior players were called up for international duty.

With Nations League fixtures and friendlies on the agenda, NewcastleWorld takes a look at where the Magpies international stars are heading before they return to action with a visit to Fulham on the first Saturday of October.
