Many Bournemouth players have been on international this week in friendlies and various qualifier games.

With internationals ranging from Ghana to Argentina and Colombia, Hungary to Wales and Republic of Ireland, the Cherries are worldwide.

Antoine Semenyo

The winger came off the bench against Central African Republic on 70 minutes.

Defeat in this game would have seen Ghana miss out on Africa Cup of Nations qualification, and with them being 1-0 down at in the first half, change was needed.

Mohammed Kudus equalised for the home side just before half time.

1-1 approaching full time, Semenyo got on the ball and played in Ernest Namah for the winner.

Although it is exciting for the Cherries forward this will result in him missing Premier League games.

Four games could be missed between January and February next year.

Milos Kerkez

70 minutes played for Hungary against Serbia in a 2-1 win.

His side have now gone three points clear at the top of their Euro 2024 qualification group.

In a group consisting of Montenegro, Lithuania and Bulgaria, Magyarok are doing well to be topping the group.

Chris Mepham, Kieffer Moore and David Brooks

The trio all featured as Wales drew 0-0 with South Korea in a friendly.

Mepham started in the centre of a back three and performed well as the Dragons kept a clean sheet at home against Heung-Min Son.

Kieffer Moore came on at half time and managed to rack up three shots on goal and miss a big chance, some useful minutes for the striker however.

Brooks came on with just over 15 minutes left and failed to really get into the game, only making five passes in that time.
