Kieran Trippier

Friday 13th OctoberEngland 1 Australia 0Wembley

In-form Trippier - who was nominated for the Premier League's EA Sports Player of the Month award for September - was introduced in the second half of the friendly clash against the Socceroos and was handed the captain's armband after replacing Three Lions skipper Jordan Henderson.

Ollie Watkins' 57th minute winner proved the difference in London ahead of focus switching to the Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy at Wembley Stadium - a repeat of the 2020 final.

Tuesday 17th OctoberEngland 3 Italy 1Wembley

The Magpies man started at left-back and played the whole game at the national stadium as Gareth Southgate's side secured their place at the summer's European Championships.

England knew that a point would be enough to ensure qualification, but fell behind to former West Ham man Gianluca Scamacca's 15th minute goal.

However, Harry Kane equalised from the spot in the first half before Marcus Rashford scored in the second - then Kane got his second in the 77th minute to complete the Italian job and guarantee England's participation in Germany next year.

Sunday 15th OctoberSwitzerland 3 Belarus 3Kybunpark

Schär, who capped off the Magpies' sensational 4-1 Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain with a sensational curling strike, played the full 90 minutes of Switzerland's six-goal thriller against Belarus as late strikes from fellow centre-back Manuel Akanji and Zeki Amdouni salvaged a point for the hosts.

Midfielder Guimarães won his 15th cap for the Seleção in their 2026 World Cup qualifier, starting the contest against a Venezuela side including former Magpies striker Salomón Rondón.

Wednesday 18th OctoberUruguay 2 Brazil 0Estadio Centenario

Almirón played the full game as Paraguay recorded an important victory. Antonio Sanabria scored the only goal of the game in the 69th minute.

It gave Paraguay their first victory of the qualification campaign at the fourth attempt. In winning his 39th international cap as a Newcastle player - and his 53rd overall - Almirón is now fifth in the club's most-capped players list.

The highly-rated teenagers were all involved in the Young Lions' four-goal draw against their Norway counterparts in Burton upon Trent as Sanusi, who joined the Magpies from Birmingham City last summer, was handed his full debut at under-17 level.

Leo Shahar, who arrived at St. James' Park from Wolverhampton Wanderers last month, was introduced in the 71st minute of the contest before 16-year-old striker Sean Neave entered the field of play 11 minutes later, making his international bow at under-17 level.
