Kyle Walker & Raheem Sterling (England)

Kyle Walker and Raheem Sterling are the only Manchester City players left in Gareth Southgate's set up this time around after two stars had to drop out of international selection at the eleventh hour.
With 91 international caps between them, Manchester City's English pair are two of the most senior figures within Southgate's current crop and they'll need to be at their best to book their place at Euro 2020 - either through qualifiers or the Nations League.

Ilkay Gundogan & Leroy Sane (Germany)

It should be time for a new era of Fußball with the German national team, but Jogi Löw's very public decision to drop three high-profile players from his squad has had completely the opposite effect for supporters.
Now more than ever Manchester City's İlkay Gündoğan and Leroy Sané to fill the shoes of Mats Hummels, Jérôme Boateng and Thomas Müller as leaders within the Germany dressing room.
They're two players at the opposite ends of their international career, but neither player has been able to rack up more than 30 appearances with Die Mannschaft.

Ederson, Danilo & Gabriel Jesus (Brazil)

It might not be European qualifiers time, but Brazil will be hoping to compose themselves and regroup after an underwhelming performance in the World Cup and ahead of this year's Copa América.
The Seleção are keeping up their impressive record of late by playing their home friendly as far away as possible from Brazil, with their clash against Panama taking place at FC Porto's Estádio do Dragão just a few months on from playing as the hosts in Milton Keynes.
Tite's side then travel to the Sinobo Stadium in the Czech Republic for their second international friendly of the fortnight.

Bernardo Silva (Portugal)

Just like he has at Manchester City in spurts this season, Bernardo Silva now has some pretty big shoes to fill - arguably the biggest of all time - during Cristiano Ronaldo's absence with the Portuguese national team.
The Seleção das Quinas have been without the Juventus superstar since the World Cup in Russia, but domestically Silva has shown for Pep Guardiola that he has what it takes to bring Portugal success over the next fortnight, as well as in the Nations League on home soil this summer.
