International Round-Up As Two Everton Academy Stars Score

Four have been unused substitutes so far, and will be hoping to feature before the end of the international break. 

We previously wrote about the number of players on international duty for Everton, with a portion of those being academy stars. 

Only a handful of Everton's first-team squad are currently away, with the Toffees able to field an XI to face Derby County in a behind-closed-doors friendly. 

Jordan Pickford, [who is confirmed to remain England's number one goalkeeper](https://roundtable.io/sports/soccer/premier-league/everton/news/thomas-tuchel-confirms-whether-evertons-jordan-pickford-is-number-1), James Garner, and Jarrad Branthwaite were all called up to the England squad for the November international break. Their first game was against Croatia at Wembley earlier this week, with Pickford the only player to start the game. 

Garner came off the bench in the second half, replacing Declan Rice as Thomas Tuchel's side looked to see out a 2-1 lead. Garner thought he'd scored his first goal for his country, but it was ruled out due to offside. 

Branthwaite saw himself on the substitutes bench for England, and he failed to come on. He'll be hoping to get an opportunity tonight, as England face Spain.

Brennan Johnson won his 50th cap with Wales on Saturday, but he failed to prevent his country losing 3-1 to Norway. He started the game and played all 90 minutes, and he'll be hoping to feature once again as Wales face Portugal on Tuesday.

Vitalii Mykolenko played the full game as Ukraine suffered a 1-0 defeat against Northern Ireland. Braiden Graham was on the bench in that game and failed to come on, but still has the bragging rights over Mykolenko, who warned Graham before the game that they would tear them apart.

Mark Travers stayed on the bench as the Republic of Ireland suffered a 1-0 defeat agaisnt Austria this week. Jake O'Brien was also among the substitutes, but he came on in the 77th minute.

Harrison Armstrong and Tyrique George both started for England U21s as they suffered a 1-0 defeat in a friendly against Portugal on Friday night. Both players were substituted in the 61st minute for England. 

Adam Aznou was called up to the Morocoo U23 squad this month, but he failed to come off the bench against Ethiopia on Thursday. 

In more positive news, Luis Gardner and Shea Pita both started for Wales U19s against Final on Wednesday. The Everton duo both scored in a 2-2 draw, with Pita scoring a 90th minute equaliser. 

They also featured on Saturday, both starting, but they couldn't prevent a 1-0 loss against Spain. 

Kai Hutchison has played twice for Scotland U17s this week, starting both games, which ended in defeats.

Hutchison provided an assist in a 4-3 defeat to Finland, and also started against Albania.
