International round up

The international break has seen six first team regulars on senior international duty. Once again Cardiff City players have been on their travels with Junior Hoilett involved in two World Cup qualifiers for Canada played in Florida.

Hoilett played 77 mins as Canada beat Bermuda 5 - 1 in Orlando before he came off the bench for 30 mins of Canada's 11 - 0 win over the Cayman Islands on Monday.

Also crossing the Atlantic was Leandro Bacuna. He played twice for Curaçao starting both games, a 5 - 0 win over Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in Curaçao, where he played for an hour. Then a 2 - 1 win over Cuba played in Guatemala on Monday with Bacuna scoring the opening goal to help his country gain back to back wins to start their Qatar 2022 campaign.

Closer to home Ciaran Brown was an unused sub as Northern Ireland lost to Italy last week. He then played 90 minutes on Sunday in a 2 - 1 friendly defeat to the USA. Brown was not incuded in the matchday squad for Northern Ireland's 0 - 0 draw with Bulgaria in Belfast last night.

Three players represented Wales and all saw action. Harry Wilson scored a superb goal to give Wales the lead in Belgium before the home side came back to win 3 - 1. Wilson played 66 mins before coming off. Kieffer Moore came on for the last six minutes. Jonny Williams was an unused sub.

Next up Wales faced Mexico at CCS in a friendly. Jonny Williams and Kieffer Moore started and they combined for Moore to score the only goal as Wales won a really competetive friendly. Moore played 45 mins. Williams 86 mins. Wilson was not included in the squad.

Finally Wales were back at CCS on Tuesday for a 1 - 0 win over the Czech Republic. Harry Wilson played 76 mins before being replaced by Williams. Moore came on as a 57th min sub.

Three Cardiff players were in the Wales U21 squad for a freindly defeat (1 - 2) to Ireland on Saturday. Rubin Colwill and Sam Bowen came off the bench for some game time while Ben Margetson was an unused sub.
