Which Chelsea players are going away on international duty?

A total of 10 first-team players will join their senior international squads.

The international break has rolled around again, giving Chelsea fans a welcome opportunity to take a breather from the heartache and the usual rollercoaster of watching The Blues in action.

This time, it is a shorter affair, with just two rounds of international fixtures spread across a fortnight. The games could help determine the finalists in the Nations League, while also offering a chance to watch Chelsea players represent their non-European nations in a series of friendlies. 

A little football without the Chelsea-induced stress, perhaps! We look at the players representing their nations and when you can watch them play.

Morgan Rogers

Morgan Rogers played a bit-part role in the previous international camp and came under criticism from Thomas Tuchel. However, he is expected to feature in one or both of England's upcoming games, although his most likely involvement will be from the bench.

Cole Palmer has been left out of the squad this time, meaning Rogers is Chelsea's sole representative for fans to cheer on.

Marco Palestra

After missing the September break through injury, the defender returns to add to his two caps and a return to form. Palestra’s likely role will be to challenge the right-back role.  

He will face off against Mike Penders and Romeo Lavia as they come up against Belgium for that second spot.

Mike Penders and Romeo Lavia

Both players will be looking to impress, particularly Romeo Lavia, who only made an impact during the previous international camp. Concerns over his ability to complete 90 minutes appear to have eased after he played three consecutive full matches for Chelsea.

Mike Penders, meanwhile, is likely to be the reserve goalkeeper for the duration of the camp.

Pedro Neto and Geovanny Quenda

The news surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to overshadow the team's progress during this international camp, with Geovanny Quenda also stepping up from the Under-21s to join the senior squad for this break.

Sitting comfortably at the top of the table and needing just one point to be crowned group winners, manager Jorge Jesus has taken the opportunity to hand several uncapped players a chance to impress.

Estevao

Brazil face another long-haul trip as they remain in Asia for this international break, with a clash against Japan offering a repeat of their World Cup round-of-32 meeting. Estevao will be looking to make the most of the opportunity to strengthen his case for a starting place when he returns to Chelsea.

The subsequent friendly against Singapore could also provide the young talent with another chance to add to his goalscoring tally.

Valentin Barco, Aaron Anselmino and Emi Martinez

Chelsea have three representatives in the Argentina squad, although the main concern will be over Emi Martinez's fitness. Valentin Barco has also been called up for the friendlies, while Aaron Anselmino returns from injury and could be in line to earn his first international cap.

A clash against old rivals Uruguay is followed by a meeting with Costa Rica, as Argentina look to get the post-Messi era off to a winning start.
