SAINTS have eight first-teamers away on international duty during the upcoming break.

Premier League action returns on September 11 for Saints, but not every member of the squad will get a pause of competitive action.

World Cup qualifiers make up the majority of Saints international’s upcoming fixtures, with Moussa Djenepo set to take on the likes of Rwanda.

Young star Tino Livramento has been rewarded for his sensational start to life in senior football with an England under-21 call-up.

But Ralph Hasenhuttl will be hoping for nothing more than his entire squad to come through this international break unscathed – especially after Stuart Armstrong’s calf injury has seen him pull out of the Scotland outfit.

We will be updating this daily with the results and brief overview of player performance so return to keep up to date!
