Swansea City’s Welsh contingent have had a busy spell under Craig Bellamy, while there are other members of Luke Williams’ squad who have been an action during the international break.
Joe Allen’s return to international duty, with the veteran midfielder coming off the bench during Monday’s 1-0 win over Montenegro, meant four Swansea players were used by Craig Bellamy in his second camp as Wales head coach.
Ollie Cooper started last Friday’s 2-2 draw in Iceland and then featured as a late substitute in the Montenegro win.
Liam Cullen made his first competitive start for Wales against Montenegro having got his first minutes in a competitive international game as a second-half substitute in Iceland.
Ben Cabango also came off the bench in Reykjavik and then started against Montenegro, a game in which no fewer than seven Swansea academy graduates had time on the pitch.
That number could have been higher had Wales regular Connor Roberts not been on left on a bench which also featured Rhys Norrington-Davies, who spent time at Swansea before being released as a youngster.
Another player left kicking his heels in this international break was Swansea goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux.
He was an unused substitute in defeats to Brazil and Colombia despite Chile making a change in goal, with Colo-Colo’s Brayan Cortes replacing Gabriel Arias.
Swansea striker Zan Vipotnik featured as a substitute in both Slovenia’s Nations League games, playing 31 minutes of a 3-0 to defeat to Norway – for whom Erling Haaland scored twice – and another 19 minutes in a 1-0 win in Kazakhstan.
Nathan Tjoe-A-On played twice for Indonesia, featuring as a late substitute in a 2-2 draw with Bahrain before playing 90 minutes as his nation were beaten 2-1 in China on Tuesday.
Eom Ji-Sung, meanwhile, missed South Korea’s 3-2 win over Iraq on Tuesday having returned to Wales early as a result of a knee injury picked up in last Thursday’s 2-0 win over Jordan.
