Remy Cabella and Moussa Sissoko head the list of Newcastle United stars who will represent their countries during the upcoming international break.
The midfield duo have been called up to Didier Deschamps' France squad for their friendlies against Portugal - at the Stade de France - on Saturday, 11th October, and away in Armenia three days later.
Young goalkeeper Freddie Woodman has been called up to the England Under-19 squad for the first time ahead of their European Championship qualifying games this month.
Sean O'Driscoll's youngsters will take on Belarus, Luxembourg and Belgium in a hectic five-day spell and Woodman, who is currently out on a month's loan at League Two side Hartlepool United, has been named alongside Angus Gunn of Manchester City as one of two goalkeepers in the squad.
Meanwhile, Jamaal Lascelles - another of United's young stars currently out on loan - has been named in Gareth Southgate's England Under-21 squad for their European Championship play-off against Croatia.
The 20-year-old centre-half, who has featured only sporadically for Nottingham Forest so far this season, will be part of the side that take on the Croats at Molineux a week on Friday before flying out for the return leg on Tuesday, 14th October.
Finally, Shane Ferguson has been named in the Northern Ireland squad for their qualifiers against Faroe Islands (Saturday, 11th October) and Greece (Tuesday, 14th October).
