Every international fixture Southampton players will be involved in and how to watch

Southampton will not kick a ball in the Championship till the end of March with a two-week international break disrupting play.

Southampton go into the break with a lot of work to do if they are to win automatic promotion. The Saints are nine points behind second-place Leicester City but they do have two games in hand.

A number of Russell Martin’s men have already left St Mary’s to meet up with their national sides.

Southampton FC News have dived into all of the international fixtures which will involve Southampton players over the next week or so.

Jan Bednarek Poland schedule

Jan Bednarek has had an excellent season with Southampton and has now met up with his national side this week.

Poland finished third in their Euro 2024 qualifying group behind the Czech Republic and Albania which means they face Estonia in a qualifying match on Thursday night.

It is a huge game for Bednarek and his nation as they aim to qualify for Euro 2024.

Stuart Armstrong and Che Adams Scotland schedule

Stuart Armstrong has played an integral role in Southampton’s charge for promotion and the 31-year-old is a regular fixture for his country too.

The energetic midfielder, who plays alongside Che Adams for the Saints, also plays with the striker for his country.

Adams has formed a lethal partnership with forward Adam Armstrong, scoring 12 goals this season.

The pair will join up with their country for friendly matches against The Netherlands and Northern Ireland.

David Brooks Wales schedule

Alongside Joe Rothwell, David Brooks has become an inspired loan signing from Premier League side Bournemouth.

The fleet-footed winger has scored twice and assisted three goals in eight appearances since arriving at St Mary’s in January.

Many supporters would love to see him join the club permanently, but for now, they will have to enjoy his performances while they can.

Shea Charles Northern Ireland schedule

Shea Charles was Southampton’s marquee signing from Manchester City in the summer and the 20-year-old has played a sporadic role in their assault towards promotion.

The defensive midfielder, who can also play at centre-back, has had to overcome a lot of competition in those areas to make 28 appearances under Martin, 13 of which were in the starting XI.

Charles has been capped by his country eight times and will likely feature in their friendly matches against Romania and Scotland.

Gavin Bazunu’s and Will Smallbone’s Republic of Ireland fixtures

Gavin Bazunu has established himself as Southampton’s number-one, making 10 clean sheets in 36 appearances this term.

For his country, though, he is competing with Liverpool shot-stopper Caoimhin Kelleher for a spot in between the sticks.

As for Will Smallbone, the Saints academy graduate has been the driving force behind their midfield this term, scoring four and assisting three in 33 matches.

The pair will hope to play their part in friendly matches against Belgium and Switzerland.

Taylor Harwood-Bellis England under-21 fixtures

Arriving on loan from Manchester City in the summer, Taylor Harwood-Bellis has been a revelation at the back for the Saints and has recently had to slot in at right-back due to Kyle Walker-Peters injury.

One of several successful loanees this term, the 22-year-old will look to cap off his time at the Saints by winning promotion to the Premier League, as he did with Burnley last season.

The form of Harwood-Bellis has earned him another call-up for England under-21s duty.
