Florenzi Italy

Here’s a quick guide to where a dozen of Rudi Garcia’s players are heading and what’s at stake...

DZEKO & PJANIC

Edin Dzeko and Miralem Pjanic were both selected by Bosnian manager Mehmed Bazdarevic for the two crucial Euro 2016 play-off matches against Ireland. The first leg is set to take place in Zenica on Friday 13 November, while the return match will be in Dublin on Tuesday 17.

FLORENZI

Alessandro Florenzi is the sole Romanista to have received the call-up from Antonio Conte for the upcoming matches against Belgium in Brussels on Friday November 13 and Romania at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in Bologna on Tuesday November 17. Head coach Conte left Daniele De Rossi out to allow the midfield star to use the break to get back to full fitness.

NAINGGOLAN

After facing the Azzurri and team-mate Florenzi on Friday, Radja Nainggolan will be in action again when Belgium host Spain on November 17.

DIGNE

Lucas Digne will come up against team-mate Antonio Rudiger when France take on Germany in Paris later this week before facing England on Tuesday 17 November.

RUDIGER

Fresh for impressing in his first Rome derby, Rudiger will travel to the French capital with the World Champions for a Friday night match before taking on Holland four days later.

GYOMBER

Norbert Gyomber's Slovakia have safely secured their spot at the Euros for the first time in the country's history and begin their preparations with two home matches against Switzerland in Trnava on Friday and Iceland in Zilina on Tuesday.

SZCZESNY

Wojciech Szczesny's Poland also have two home matches on the same days – against Iceland in Warsaw and then against the Czech Republic in Wroclaw.

TOROSIDIS & MANOLAS

Giallorossi defencesive pair Vasilis Torosidis and Kostas Manolas have games for Greece against Luxembourg and Turkey.

GERVINHO

Ivory Coast have two key World Cup 2018 qualifying matches against Liberia, first away on Friday and then at home on Tuesday. No doubt Gervinho will be hoping to carry on his stunning club form for his country.

UCAN

Finally, Salih Ucan will be in line to feature for Turkey U21, who have an away match against Cyprus as part of the qualifying cycle for the Euro U21 championship in Poland in 2017.
