Having made his Northern Ireland U21 debut last month, Ceadach O'Neill has been recalled to the side for their next set of Euro U21 qualifiers this month.

The winger has made an impressive start to the season, netting six goals in five matches to earn him a recall to Tommy Wright's side. Ceadach featured in Northern Ireland's 1-1 draw with Georgia last month and now faces home clashes against Malta and Germany this time around.

It's a busy break for our academy stars with 11 players being called up by their nations across Europe, as well as Alexei Rojas, who is still with Colombia U20s after they advanced to the knockout stages of the FIFA U20 World Cup, where they'll next play South Africa on October 8.

Back in Europe and a number of our young guns will be playing each other across the break. That includes a clash between England U19s and Wales U19s on October 14. Max Dowman and Khari Ranson will take on Wales' Brayden Clarke at La Quinta Football Centre, Spain.

Max and Khari will also face Belgium as Will Antwi's team gears up for a first Euro U19 qualifier against Lithuania next month. Brayden's Wales face Switzerland and the Netherlands, who have called up our summer signing Demiane Agustien. 

The midfielder has made eight appearances since his move from Derby County in the summer, and will take on France U19s as well as Clarke's Wales.

Elsewhere, we have two players representing England U18s in Jack Porter and Ife Ibrahim. The pair face a double-header against France at St George's Park. Our other England representation comes in the under-20s with goalkeeper Tommy Setford taking on Switzerland, also at St George's Park.

Alex Marciniak faces a triple-header in a busy October break with Wales U18s. The midfielder will face Sweden, Croatia and Ukraine all in Zelena Laguna, Porec, Croatia.

Lastly, scholar Patrick Stachow is involved with the Poland U17s as they kick off their Euro U17 qualification this month.

The defender takes on Germany and Luxembourg, with the top two sides advancing to the next phase to be in with a chance of qualifying for next year's tournament in Estonia.
