A number of Newcastle stars are in international action for their countries across the next couple of weeks

Newcastle United are now bracing themselves for two weeks without club football before they return to Premier League action with the visit of Arsenal on November 21.

The Magpies have made a positive start to the season, losing just one of their seven matches across all competitions, but were not able to back it up in the last block of fixtures since the September and October international break, winning just one of their last six matches in all competitions.

Eight new senior signings arrived in the summer, with a number of experienced players heading out the exit door. Meanwhile, Matthias Jaissle replaced Eddie Howe as head coach midway through pre-season.

The break will allow Newcastle to take a breather and reflect on a busy period but for those players who have been chosen to represent their countries, it will now be a busy period on the international stage and a chance to impress Jaissle away from Tyneside.

19 Newcastle players have been selected for their countries, with the likes of Lukas Hornicek, Lewis Hall, Dan Burn, Malick Thiaw, Amar Dedic, Anthony Elanga, Will Osula and Yoane Wissa all set to represent their national sides.

New signings Bazoumana Toure and Aladji Bamba will be looking to get some much needed game-time and confidence with their countries.

Meanwhile, young stars Sean Steur, Alex Murphy and Rory Finneran will look to win through to next summer's European under-21 championships by winning their two-legged play-off ties.

Matheos Ferreira has been called up for Brazil u20s, having also been eligible to play for England and Italy, and Ousmane Diabate, Sean Neave, Roman Dowell and Kyran Thompson are also in action for their countries.
