The 17 international fixtures involving Burnley stars as Luca Koleosho handed Italy U21 call-up
Nine Burnley stars will be in action over the October international break as the Championship campaign pauses for a couple of weeks.
The Clarets headed into the break off the back of a goalless draw against Preston North End in a Lancashire derby at Turf Moor.
The result leaves Scott Parker’s men in third place in the table, one point adrift of leaders Sunderland.
Burnley return to action on Saturday, October 19 when they make the trip to South Yorkshire to face Sheffield Wednesday.
But before then, there are a number of international games to keep an eye on involving Burnley players, with James Trafford, Maxime Estève, Connor Roberts, Josh Cullen, Hannibal, Jeremy Sarmiento, Luca Koleosho, Andreas Hountondji and Lyle Foster all receiving call-ups.
Koleosho, who is eligible to represent Italy, Nigeria, USA and Canada, has been drafted into Italy’s Under-21 squad. They play just one game during the October window, while all other countries including Burnley stars face two back-to-back fixtures.
