Ipswich Town: Who’s away during the September international break?

10 Ipswich Town players will be away during the September international break. Alex Jones takes a look at what they’ll be up to in the next few days…

Sammie Szmodics is one of three Town players set to face England on Saturday afternoon

Sammie Szmodics, Chiedozie Ogbene and Dara O’Shea – Republic of Ireland

Ipswich had three players away with the Republic of Ireland national team, which is a significant rise from their zero absences during the previous campaign. Dara O’Shea, Chiedozie Ogbene, and Sammie Szmodics were all signed late in the transfer window and will now go to play for Heimir Hallgrimson’s team.

The Boys in Green’s Nations League B campaign begins on Saturday, September 7 at 5 p.m. BST at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin with a big matchup against their bitter rivals, England. Then, they will host Greece at the same location on Tuesday, September 10. The other team in Group 2 is Finland.

Ogbene presently has twenty caps, O’Shea has twenty, and Szmodics has four. They will be trying to recover from a poor qualifying campaign for Euro 2024, where they were unable to secure a group stage position.

Liam Delap has five caps for England U21 so far

Liam Delap – England Under-21

Liam Delap, who has been Ipswich’s most impressive player in the early going of the season, is reuniting with the England Under-21 team. Omari Hutchinson, a teammate from Town who hasn’t played for the squad yet, was slated to accompany him; Delap has two goals in five appearances.

Hutchinson, one of five players, will return to their clubs for “further medical assessment,” it was disclosed Friday night. We don’t yet know what the problem is.

The Young Lions now have a new manager since Gareth Southgate resigned and Lee Carsley was appointed temporary manager of the men’s first team. Consequently, Ben Futcher will step in in the interim, starting with a trip to Northern Ireland for

With six wins and one tie from their first seven games, England U21 is presently ranked second in Group F, behind Ukraine on the head-to-head record. Their next match is scheduled for Friday, September 6th at The Showgrounds in Ballymena at 7:45 p.m. BST.

On Monday, September 9th at 7:45 p.m. BST, they will play friendly matchups against Austria U21 at Kenilworth Road in Luton.

Jens Cajuste often plays as a left-back for Sweden

Jens Cajuste – Sweden

Jens Cajuste, who joined Sweden on loan from Napoli last month, is scheduled to depart with the team as they play Azerbaijan in Baku today at 5 p.m. BST to begin their Nations League C campaign.

A few days later, they are back in Solna, where they will host Estonia on Sunday, September 8th at 7:45 p.m. BST. A strong start to the competition would undoubtedly help ease the disappointment of not making it to Euro 2024.

Cajuste made his senior debut in 2020 and presently has 23 caps to his name. He has frequently played left back for Blackburn Rovers under new manager Jon Dahl Tomasson..

Arijanet Muric is expected to start for Kosovo this month

Arijanet Muric – Kosovo

Similar to Cajuste, Arijanet Muric, another summer recruit, will be participating in Nations League C activity. On Friday, September 6th (7:45pm BST), his Kosovo team will play their first home game against Romania in Pristina.

They leave for Cyprus on Monday, September 9th at 5 p.m. BST the next week. The AEK Arena in Larnaca will host that match.

Although making just one appearance for Montenegro at the U21 level, Muric has made 38 appearances for Kosovo since making his debut in 2018.

Axel Tuanzebe made his senior international debut this year

Axel Tuanzebe – Democratic Republic of Congo

Axel Tuanzebe, an England youth representative, didn’t play for the Democratic Republic of the Congo until June. Nonetheless, he has already established himself as a vital member of their team and is back in the lineup for the beginning of their AFCON qualification campaign.

On Friday, September 6th at 5 p.m. BST, Sebastien Desabre’s team plays at home against Guinea. On Monday, September 9th at 8 p.m. BST, they go to Ethiopia. Group H’s final team is Tanzania, and it might be over as early as November.

In the World Cup qualifying process, which is scheduled to commence in March 2025, Tuanzebe has already aided DR Congo.

Cameron Burgess is yet to feature for Town in the Premier League 

Cameron Burgess – Australia

In relation to World Cup qualifying, Australia is still trying to qualify for the forthcoming competition in North America, and Cameron Burgess is back in the team. They won all of their qualifying rounds in the second round, but the third round might be more difficult for them.

On the Gold Coast, their campaign gets underway today at 11:10 a.m. BST with a visit to Bahrain. The two Town defenders could play on Tuesday, September 10th at 1pm BST as they travel to Jakarta to play Elkan Baggott’s Indonesia. Baggott’s loan at Blackpool has kept him away from the first team at Ipswich.

When the two teams previously played in the Asian Cup knockout rounds, Baggott scored an early own goal and his team lost 4-0 against

Burgess currently has nine senior caps for Australia to his name, having made his debut for Graham Arnold’s side last year.

Ali Al-Hamadi has missed a handful of international games through injury this year 

Ali Al-Hamadi – Iraq

Although Ali Al-Hamadi has been a vital member of Iraq’s team for a while, his injuries sustained at Ipswich have prevented him from playing in many international matches. But this month, they have two World Cup qualifying matches, so he’s back in the lineup.

Today at 5 p.m. BST in Basra, Jesus Casas’ team plays their first home game against Oman before travelling to Kuwait on Tuesday, September 10. The other teams in Group B are South Korea, Palestine, and Jordan.

Al-Hamadi, who stayed in Suffolk despite being linked to a loan move during the summer transfer window, has three goals in 12 games for Iraq thus far.

Cieran Slicker has been a crucial player for Scotland U21 recently

Cieran Slicker – Scotland Under-21

Finally, as Scotland U21 continues its Euro U21 qualification campaign, Cieran Slicker, a mainstay for the national team, is reuniting with Scot Gemmill’s squad.

They start with a crucial match against Spain U21 at Tynecastle on Friday, September 6th at 7pm BST. They are currently ranked second in Group B. The next week, they travel to Attard to play Malta U21 on Tuesday, September 10th at 5:30 p.m. BST.

Slicker has made 17 appearances for Scotland U21 thus far, solidifying his position as the team’s starting goalie.
