Portugal have selected Pedro Neto and Geovany Quenda, with Quenda also hoping to earn his first senior international cap. The Portuguese will take on Denmark and Wales during the break.
Belgium have included goalkeeper Mike Penders and midfielder Romeo Lavia in their squad, while Brazil have selected teenage winger Estevao despite his limited number of Premier League starts this season.
Marco Palestra has also earned a return to Italy's national team, while Moises Caicedo and Kendry Paez will represent Ecuador.
Chelsea's academy will have a significant presence during the international break, with 15 players selected for England's Under-21, Under-20, Under-19 and Under-18 teams.
