The Royals had four players on international duty last night.

Simon Church was involved in a great win for Wales' under 21s, coming off the bench to win a last-minute penalty as they defeated France 4-2.

Church may well have taken the spot kick himself, but Man City's Jed Evans was on a hat trick and slotted home.

Alan Bennett was a second half substitute in Ireland B's 1-1 draw with Scotland B. The defender is currently on loan at Southampton.

Midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson made his second appearance for Iceland's under 21s last night, coming on in the last minute in a 2-1 win over Belgium. He previously played half an hour against Germany on Friday, his u21s debut.

Academy frontman Kelvin Bossman was with Ghana's under 18s, and played the last half an hour as they took on England. The English won the game at Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium 2-0.

Tonight, Nicky Shorey is part of the England squad that takes on Croatia at Wembley. Wayne Bridge is set to start, so he battles it out with Ashley Cole for a place among the substitutes.

Brynjar Gunnarsson's Iceland travel to Denmark for their final Euro qualifier. Ivar Ingimarsson was initially in the squad, but has now retired.

Andre Bikey is back in the UK after a Cameroon training camp in Germany, while Oliver Bozanic has returned from his U20 World Cup qualifying games in Vietnam.

Emerse Fae is with the Ivory Coast for a friendly with Qatar. They also played Angola on Sunday.

Adam Federici was an unused sub for Australia on Saturday, while Kevin Doyle scored from sub Stephen Hunt's cross for Ireland on the same day.

Hal Robson-Kanu made his England under 19s debut last week. James Henry would have played too, but was injured.

Marcus Hahnemann declined to join up with America's squad for a friendly with South Africa, while Ulises De La Cruz was not in Ecuador's squad.

If you fancy a punt on tonight's international action, Bet365 is the place to go. How about a double to include Saturday's Reading game at Man City - it's 49/10 for England to win and Reading to draw.
