Where All The Southampton Stars Will Be On International Duty

Saints potentially have 13 players away with their countries this week, but who are they all playing for and when are they playing, read on for all the information to see you through the International break.

The good news for Saints fans is that Jan Bednarek will be jetting off after it was confirmed that he had not broken a rib which was the first fear as it would likely keep him out for a month or more if it had turned out to be a break.

He will be joined by the likes of Romeo Lavia who will join up with the Belgium squad as well as Gavin Bazunu with the Republic Of Ireland.

So who are all the Saints selected to represent their country this fortnight and when and who will they be playing against.

What to read next:

Southampton V Birmingham City The Preview
A big game for both clubs, to kick off a big week for Saints who really need to keep winning if they are to mount a genuine push for the play offs, but there is good news pre match and Saints should have a strong squad out.

Saints could announce the appointment of a new manager as early as 9am Friday morning, although reports suggest that there are a few things to iron out before the announcement is made, will the press conference this morning be that announcement or just the normal pre match briefing.

Tonda Eckert Set To Get More Time But Are Saints Biding Their Time For Their Man To Be Available
When Tonda Eckert took over as Southampton manager on an interim basis, if you had said then that he would win his first four games and only lose a fifth with a 97th injury time winner, most would have been delighted and now he looks set to continue, at least for the short term.
Southampton At Millwall The Verdict
Saints fell to their first defeat under Tonda Eckert at Millwall, in a game where they never really got going and looked to have fought for a hard earned point until with just about the last win of the game the home side scored a winner.
Millwall 3 - 2 Southampton - Player Ratings and Reports
If you saw the match, please give us your player ratings and a mini match report.
Southampton At Millwall The Preview

It was late drama in our last visit in a competitive game two years ago and a bit chaotic afterwards due to issues with the trains between London Bridge & South Bermondsey, hopefully there will be no such issues this time around.
Southampton V Leicester City The Verdict
It was 4 in a row for Tonda Eckert & his Saints side, another polished performance that pushed us up to 11th but more importantly to the fringes of the play off spots, posing the question how a team and it's players who were so poor just 3 weeks or so ago can be so different now.
