The UEFA Nations League continues tonight with a fresh set of fixtures as many of Borussia Dortmund stars will be in action for their respective national teams too.
The club boasts one of the largest international contingents for the autumn games with 15 of their first-team stars called-up for senior teams and another five with youth sides.
Here's a complete list of BVB players to keep an eye on, today:
Joey Veerman (Serbia vs Netherlands)
After over two years away from national duty, Joey Veerman finally returned to action for the Oranje on Wednesday as manager Xavi subbed him into the second half. The 27-year-old delivered a fine attacking display which kept the ignition going for them in the closing stages, creating four chances and laying nine crosses. His promising display is likely to earn him a starting berth tonight against Serbia, where the Netherlands are favorites to prevail.
Carney Chukwuemeka (Austria vs Kosovo)
Although Marcel Sabitzer is currently on an international break, Carney Chukwuemeka returned for Austria and came on for the closing stages of their opening day win over Israel. Despite having a limited amount of time on his hands, the BVB starlet created two chances shortly after taking to the field to remind everyone of his attacking potential. If Das Team manager Ralf Rangnick opts to ring in the changes for this one, Chukwuemeka could be among those coming into the XI.
Julian Ryerson, Fabio Silva (Norway vs Portugal)
We have an all-BVB matchup here as Julian Ryerson could potentially face his club teammate Fabio Silva as his Norway team welcome Portugal to Oslo. Ryerson completed full 90 minutes of their nervy win over Denmark this week and is likely to start once more for such a crucial game. But doubts remain over Silva though. The forward was omitted from Portugal's matchday squad against Wales despite being called up to the national team by Jorge Jesus. It's still not clear if we're going to see him tonight.
Nmecha, Schlotterbeck, Karetsas (Germany vs Greece)
Over in Amsterdam, a few more Dortmund players will be contesting against each other as Felix Nmecha and Nico Schlotterbeck are on collision course with their new teammate Konstantinos Karetsas as Germany play Greece in Augsburg. All three are likely starters for their teams, which means we could get to see them battling it out at the WWK Arena right from the off.
