Men’s September and October international break: Who’s playing when?
All the information you need to follow our players during the international break over September and October.
The first window of the 2026/27 campaign is an extended one, with City not now back in action until Sunday 11 October.
That means most national teams will play four times over the next few weeks before the players are back at the City Football Academy.
Below we look at all the members of Enzo Maresca’s current first team squad that are part of their international squads…
