Magpies skipper Fabricio Coloccini has been named in the Argentina squad for their qualifiers against Peru (11th October) and Uruguay (15th October), while Cheick Tiote and the Ivory Coast will face Senegal on Saturday, 12th October in Abidjan.
Sammy Ameobi is part of the England Under-21 set-up which has two UEFA European Under-21 Championship group one qualifiers.
Gareth Southgate's Young Lions travel to San Marino on Thursday, 10th October, before entertaining Lithuania at Ipswich Town's Portman Road stadium on Tuesday, 15th October.
