Borussia Dortmund fans will want to keep an eye on these players during the international break

Borussia Dortmund are on a high right now, currently joint-top of the Bundesliga, as well as winning three out of four in the Champions League. Thus, fans and Niko Kovač alike will simply be hoping that the 13 die Schwarzgelben players heading off on international duty return fit and available.

So, ahead of the international fixtures, find out who has been called up and when they'll be in action.

Germany: Nico Schlotterbeck and Felix Nmecha

• Fixtures: 13 November vs Serbia and 16 November vs Netherlands.

Having won just one of his first four matches in charge, Jürgen Klopp's team must beat Serbia and the Netherlands to reach the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals. Both Nico Schlotterbeck and Felix Nmecha are likely to be key figures for die Mannschaft.

Greece: Konstantinos Karetsas

• Fixtures: 13 November vs Netherlands and 16 November vs Serbia.

Teenager Konstantinos Karetsas has impressed since joining Borussia Dortmund from Genk in the summer, scoring his first goal for the club against Real Betis last week. He is one of the first names on the team sheet for Greece, so will start both of their matches.

England: Jobe Bellingham

• Fixtures: 12 November vs Croatia and 15 November vs Spain.

Jobe Bellingham has been called up by the senior England national team for the very first time. Thus, the 21 year old will be hoping to debut, alongside brother Jude, at Wembley on Thursday.

Portugal: Fábio Silva

• Fixtures: 14 November vs Denmark and 17 November vs Wales.

Fábio Silva currently has just one Portugal cap to his name, this coming against Croatia in Split two years ago. Now though, he is back in the squad and, with Jorge Jesus' side already guaranteed a spot in the Nations League quarter-finals, he'll be hoping to feature this week.

Switzerland: Gregor Kobel

• Fixtures: 13 November vs Slovenia and 16 November vs Scotland.

After years as a back-up, Gregor Kobel is finally enjoying being Switzerland's number one, set to start both matches against Slovenia and Scotland, with Murat Yakın's team on the verge of promotion from League B.

Austria: Carney Chukwuemeka

• Fixtures: 14 November vs Republic of Ireland and 17 November vs Israel.

There is no Marcel Sabitzer anymore, but Carney Chukwuemeka ensures there is still Borussia Dortmund interest in Austria's matches. Having scored on debut against Ghana in March, the midfielder also netted against Kosovo in September, set for more minutes under Ralf Rangnick.

Norway: Julian Ryerson

• Fixtures: 14 November vs Wales and 17 November vs Denmark.

Julian Ryerson reached 50 caps for Norway last month, and is their undisputed first-choice right-back, thereby set for two more starts.

Sweden: Daniel Svensson

• Fixtures: 14 November vs Bosnia & Herzegovina and 17 November vs Poland.

Similarly, Daniel Svensson has featured in 18 of Sweden's last 20 matches, so will be a key figure for Graham Potter's team once again.

United States: Mathis Albert

• Fixtures: 14 and 17 November vs Haiti.

Mathis Albert clearly impressed seemingly outgoing USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino, featuring in all four internationals during the last window, scoring his first goal for the U.S. against Chile in St. Louis. Next up for the United States is a CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final against Haiti and, despite just one Bundesliga appearance this season, Albert could feature in stars and stripes.

Netherlands: Joey Veerman

• Fixtures: 13 November vs Greece and 16 November vs Germany.

Joey Veerman has started the last three Bundesliga matches, earning another inclusion in the Netherlands squad. Prior to Xavi's appointment, he had not represented the Oranje since Euro 2024, but featured in all four games last time round.

Algeria: Ramy Bensebaïni

• Fixtures: 14 and 17 November vs Togo.

Ramy Bensebaïni bagged his tenth goal for Algeria against Niger at Hocine Aït Ahmed Stadium last month, also reaching 89 caps; only five Algerian men have more. Thus, expect the defender to start both AFCON qualifiers against Togo.

Luxembourg: Enzo dos Santos

• Fixtures: 13 November vs Estonia and 16 November vs Iceland.

Lastly, Enzo dos Santos is yet to make his senior debut for Borussia Dortmund, included on the bench against Eintracht Frankfurt, Sabah and Real Betis, yet to be introduced. The 17 year old though does now have eight senior caps for Luxembourg, starting their last two matches, set to gain more expirence for Jeff Strasser's Red Lions.
