It's set to be a busy night for those Hull City players currently away on international duty. Paul McShane and Caleb Folan have already been confirmed as starters for the Republic of Ireland's friendly against Poland in Dublin. It will be Folan's first start for the senior side with his only other appearance coming as a late substitute in the recent 1-0 win against Cyprus.
Meanwhile, Boaz Myhill is expected to start in goal for Wales in
their friendly against Denmark in Brondby. Hit by a number of
withdrawals, Wales go into the game with a largely inexperienced squad,
with Sam Ricketts one of the few to have plenty of caps to his name.
Also set for a piece of 'friendly' action is Peter Halmosi, who forms part of the Hungarian squad to face Northern Ireland in Belfast.
Richard Garcia could be involved in a competitive fixture for Australia for the first time. The attacking midfielder has been included in the squad for the trip to Bahrain for their latest 2010 World Cup qualifying game.
Marlon King is in the Caribbean preparing for Jamaica's World Cup qualifier against Canada while Tony Warner will be hoping to start Trinidad & Tobago's qualifying game against Cuba in Port of Spain.
The international week is already over for Kamil Zayatte after his Guinea side were held to a 3-3 draw by Gabon in France on Tuesday night. Daniel Cousin did not feature for Gabon.
