West Ham United's 2022/23 season may have paused, but plenty of Hammers are still in action through a short international window, with a series of fixtures to be played across the globe in the final two weeks of September.
Here is everything you need to know about when our players are in action…
Who has been called up?
A host of senior international fixtures, ahead of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year, will feature eleven West Ham United players.
Jarrod Bowen, who made his international debut last June, will again be part of Gareth Southgate's England squad. He will feature alongside Hammers' skipper Declan Rice.
Elsewhere, Lucas Paquetá will hope to add to his 33 caps for Brazil, with fellow summer signing Maxwel Cornet called up for the Ivory Coast's squad. Vladimír Coufal and Tomáš Souček are set to play for the Czech Republic, and Michail Antonio is back in action for Jamaica.
Gianluca Scamacca and Emerson Palmieri are in the Italy squad, while Thilo Kehrer and Alphonse Areola - for Germany and France respectively - are also set for UEFA Nations League action this month.
When and where will they play?
The senior international matches start on Thursday 22 September, as Areola’s France host Austria at the Stade de France in the Nations League. As it stands, France are winless win Group A1, picking up just two points from their first four fixtures.
Didier Deschamps’s men will hope to record their first win against an Austria side with former Hammer Marko Arnautović in their ranks before they face current group leaders Denmark at Parken in Copenhagen three days later.
Four Hammers will come up against each other on Friday 23 September, as England face Italy at San Siro in Milan, with Rice, Bowen, Scamacca, and Emerson all in action.

Souček and Coufal will play for the Czech Republic at home to Portugal on Saturday 23 September in the Nations League, having fallen to a 2-0 defeat in the last meeting between the two sides.
