Everton's first team is just 24 players deep, but the Blues will see nine of them feature on international duty during this current break.

Two groups of Everton teammates will extend that partnership into the break, with the trio of Jake O'Brien, Mark Travers, and Seamus Coleman getting the call for the Republic of Ireland, while both Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gana Gueye will represent Senegal.

The Irish trio is still working to get its country into the 2026 World Cup, while Senegal has already booked its place in next summer's competition and will use this break to prepare for next month's African Cup of Nations.

Similarly, fullback Vitalii Mykolenko will join a Ukrainian side that still needs to book its ticket to the World Cup, with crucial matchups against France and Iceland coming up during this window. Goalkeeper Tom King will join Wales, which also needs wins in order to secure a trip to the United States, Mexico, and Canada next summer.

The only other senior player who'll feature for his country's first team will be Jordan Pickford, although England's contests against Serbia and Albania amount to glorified friendlies, since the Three Lions are already into the draw for the World Cup.

Tyler Dibling is the last first-team player who earned a call-up, although he'll play for the England U21 squad as they look to qualify for the UEFA U21 EUROs, which will take place in 2027. The winger hasn't featured much for David Moyes this season, so this run of international games against Slovakia and the Republic of Ireland will be good for the youngster.

Also getting calls from U21 sides, this time for Northern Ireland, are academy players goalkeeper Fraser Barnsley and midfielder Jack Patterson. They'll face off against Latvia and Greece during the break.

Goalkeeper George Pickford, no relation to Jordan, will play for England's U20 side in a friendly against Japan, while Harrison Armstrong (currently out on loan) got the call for England's U19 squad for qualifiers in that level's European Championship. Forward Braiden Graham will be in that competition for Northern Ireland's U19s as well.

Finally, forward Shea Pita will join Wales' U17 team for a run of three matches as they look to qualify for the U17 European Championships.

It will be a busy run of matches for the international Toffees, but the hope will be that all will stay fit for when the Premier League season reconvenes with a trip to Old Trafford on Monday, November 24.
