The nine Watford players called up for international duty

Fortunately, this break is shorter than the previous three-week international break, but there will still be plenty of action for the Hornets' international representatives.

Here is a breakdown of those who have been called up for the upcoming round of international fixtures.

Kevin Keben - Cameroon

Namibia (A) - 12 November | Namibia (H) - 16 November

Keben has started all but one of the Hornets' Championship games this season, and has been part of the back line which has kept three consecutive clean sheets at Vicarage Road.

The 22-year-old defender will be looking to add to his three caps as Cameroon hope to build on their unbeaten start to their African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying group.

Branimir Mlacic - Croatia U21s

Germany U21s (H) - 17 November

The young defender has not featured as consistently as Keben, but has generally impressed in his eight appearances since joining on loan from Udinese on deadline day.

After helping Croatia U21s qualify for the upcoming U21 Euros in the last international break, the 19-year-old has been called up for a friendly against Germany this month.

Jordan Zemura - Zimbabwe

Equatorial Guinea (A) - 12 November | Equatorial Guinea (H) - 16 November

Zemura has been an important figure for Watford so far this season, having featured in 13 out of 15 Championship games so far.

The full-back also scored in the Hornets' recent 2-0 win over Charlton, and will link up with Zimbabwe for two AFCON qualifiers this month, with his nation currently second in their group, on goal difference.

Hector Kyprianou - Cyprus

Armenia (A) - 12 November | Montenegro (H) - 15 November

Kyprianou has been crucial in midfield for Watford, which made his enforced absence, due to suspension, such a big loss against Middlesbrough, despite a positive result.

For Cyprus, the 25-year-old has recently been deployed as a central defender, and will link up with his nation for two UEFA Nations League games.

Edo Kayembe - DR Congo

Sierra Leone (H) - 12 November | Sierra Leone (A, Morocco) - 17 November

Kayembe has long been a crucial figure for DR Congo, with almost 50 caps to his name by the age of 28.

The midfielder will join up for a double-header of AFCON qualifiers against Sierra Leone, as DR Congo look to maintain their perfect start to their qualifying group.

Rocco Vata - Republic of Ireland

Austria (A) - 14 November | Kosovo (H) - 17 November

Vata has only been a bit-part player for Watford so far this season, having played only 267 minutes in the Championship, but the 21-year-old has retained his place in the Ireland squad.

The midfielder will be part of the Ireland squad that will be preparing for their final two Nations League group matches, and his side could still finish anywhere in the group.

Othmane Maamma - Morocco U23s

Ethiopia U23s (A) - 12 November | Ethiopia U23s (H) - 17 November

Othmane Maamma has struggled so far this season, with no goal involvements in 15 appearances, but the 21-year-old winger remains one of the club's most promising young players.

He has once again been called up for Morocco U23s' U23 AFCON qualifiers, a double-header against Ethiopia, over the coming fortnight.

Mamadou Doumbia - Mali

Rwanda (H) - 13 November | Rwanda (A) - 17 November

Doumbia's only international goal came in an AFCON qualifier in 2024, and he will hope to add to that in two qualifiers against Rwanda this month.

Mali are currently second in the qualification group after a perfect start, and are therefore only behind leaders Rwanda on goal difference.

Iker Bravo - Spain U21s

Japan U21s (H) - November 13 | Albania U21s (A) - 17 November

After securing U21 Euros qualification in the last international break, Iker Bravo will now partake in two friendlies with Spain U21s.

The 21-year-old forward has enjoyed a strong start to the season, with a goal and three assists for Watford, and he also amassed an identical tally for his nation in the last international break.
