Five Oxford United players have been selected for international duty during the upcoming break. The call-ups will see three players join Northern Ireland, one with Wales, and another with the Wales Under-21 side.
Oxford United, who sit 5th in League One on 10 points, will be without Ciaron Brown, Brodie Spencer and Jamie McDonnell. All three are in the Northern Ireland squad for four Nations League games against Georgia, Hungary and Ukraine over the next two weeks. Mark Harris has been called up by Wales for their four Nations League fixtures against Portugal, Denmark and Norway.
Kai Andrews will link up with the Wales Under-21 team for European Championship qualifiers against Belgium and Austria. The club wished the players well, with a simple message: "Good luck, boys."
The international absence has forced the rescheduling of two League One fixtures. The away trip to Doncaster Rovers is now set for Tuesday 15 December, while the home game against Stockport County will be played on Tuesday 27 October.
This news comes as Oxford prepare for a key home match against 4th-placed Cambridge United this Saturday. Their recent form reads WWLWD, with three wins from their last five games. The team has scored 8 goal minutes in their last three matches. Fans can check the full revised fixtures list and the latest squad information on the club's official pages. Oxford's next fixture after the international break is an away match against Port Vale on Saturday 21 September.
