Eight of Everton's Men's Senior Team players have been called up for international duty ahead of the final international break of the season.

Two Blues could go head-to-head on Friday evening (7.45pm) as Jordan Pickford's England take on Armando Broja's Albania at Wembley in the opening match of the European Group K FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

England will then face Latvia on Monday 24 March, again at Wembley at 7.45pm, while Albania host Andorra at the same time.

Elsewhere in the World Cup qualifiers, Beto and Idrissa Gana Gueye have been called up by Guinea-Bissau and Senegal.

After four matches, Guinea-Bissau are second in Group A. They face a trip to Liberia to face Sierra Leone before a home match against Burkina Faso.

As for Senegal, they are also second in Group B, and are due to face group leaders Sudan and Togo.

Meanwhile, three players have been called up for UEFA Nations League fixtures. Jesper Lindstrøm is the only one to be called up for a quarter-final tie as Denmark face Portugal. The winners of the two-legged tie will progress to the semi-finals, which will be hosted in Italy or Germany, depending on the winners of their quarter-final match.

Jake O'Brien and Vitalii Mykolenko have been called up for promotion/relegation play-offs in the tournament, with the Republic of Ireland and Ukraine facing Bulgaria and Belgium respectively.

Jarrad Branthwaite has been called up by England U21s for their friendly matches against France and Portugal, while Tim Iroegbunam is on the standby list.
