The international break may have been a bit of a slog for many West Ham United fans. The club has not played since the 2-2 draw with Millwall on September 19. Also, Jarrod Bowen is no longer in consideration for England after staying with the Hammers despite relegation.
Other West Ham players were selected for their countries, with Dinos Mavropanos starring for Greece. The Greeks were undefeated as they beat Serbia and Germany; they then drew with the Netherlands and the Germans too. Mavropanos started all of Greece's games but had to be substituted in their final match. However, he has revealed that there was no serious injury.
Mavropanos was praised for his performance in the 1-0 win over Germany, which marked Jurgen Klopp's first defeat with Die Mannschaft. Against the Netherlands, Mavropanos was reunited with former Hammer Crysencio Summerville, and the match finished 2-2. Greece are currently second to the Dutch in their Nations League group, but only on goals scored.
Manor Solomon was involved in some controversial fixtures for Israel. Because much of the Irish population is pro-Palestine, their matches against Israel became very controversial. There was a war of words between the two sides and the Irish players refusing to shake hands with the ones of Israel. They also bowed their heads when the Israeli national anthem was played.
Manor Solomon picked up an injury
As one of Israel's captains, Solomon had to serve as a spokesperson for his country. He started when Israel lost to Austria, Ireland, and then drew with Kosovo. In their second match with Ireland, he was limited to a substitute appearance due to a back problem. The match ended 1-1, and Israel sit at the foot of their group.
Denmark is auditioning their goalkeepers following the retirement of Kasper Schmeichel. Mads Hermansen was benched as Filip Jorgensen played in the Danes' first two Nations League matches. They lost to Norway and then beat Wales. The West Ham keeper then played as they lost to Portugal but then beat Wales again. The Danes are second only to the Portuguese in their group.
Edvin Austbø was in action for Norway's Under-21s in the European Championship qualifiers. They drew with the Netherlands and Israel, but defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 6-1. Austbø got an assist in the emphatic victory over Bosnia. His side finished top of their group and qualified for the U21 Euros. The tournament will take place in Albania and Serbia next year.
Airidas Golambeckis, Finlay Herrick, Ezra Mayers, and Divine Mukasa were all called up for the England U20s. They did well, beating Germany, France, and Italy. Mukasa also got promoted to the Three Lions' U21s after the 3-1 win over the Italians. The West Ham midfielder was left on the bench as Lee Carsley's side drew 0-0 with Slovakia. However, he then played the second half against Ireland, but England lost 3-1. The Three Lions had already qualified for the U21 European Championships after the result against Slovakia.
