# Internationals: Where are Chelsea’s players in action?

A good start to the season for Chelsea has seen the Blues go unbeaten through four games, and manager Maurizio Sarri could not have wished for a better start to life in English football.

The international break comes at the wrong time in many ways for Chelsea, as they might fear losing their momentum after such a strong opening to the campaign.

Nevertheless, a great number of Chelsea’s squad have once again received the call from their national sides.

**France – N’Golo Kante, Olivier Giroud**

The Wold Champions will meet Germany in an enticing Nations League match on Thursday, before going toe-to-toe with the Netherlands three days later.

**Wales – Ethan Ampadu**

Despite his tender age, Ampadu is part of Ryan Giggs’ plans as Welsh manager. Nations League matches against Ireland and Denmark could present an invaluable opportunity for the versatile 17-year-old.

**Belgium – Eden Hazard**

The superstar will face off against Scotland in a friendly on Friday night, before hosting Iceland in the Nations League the following week.

**Croatia – Mateo Kovacic**

The World Cup finalists will try to move on from the pain of Moscow with a friendly against Portugal, followed by a Nations League encounter with Spain.

**Denmark – Andreas Christensen**

Despite an ongoing dispute between Danish players and their Football Association regarding pay, Christensen has been selected to play against Slovakia and Wales.

**England – Ruben Loftus-Cheek**

Loftus-Cheek retains his place in the England squad after a strong showing at the World Cup, which saw the midfielder participate in all three group stage matches. England will play Spain and Switzerland.

**Germany – Antonio Rüdiger**

The central defender could be called upon for the seismic match against France, but could also appear in the friendly against Peru next week.

**Brazil – Willian**

Friendlies against the United States and El Salvador will provide opportunities for Willian to keep his place in a competitive Brazilian XI.
