Crystal Palace won’t be in action again until the end of this month, but several players will be playing for their nations.
Crystal Palace are in the middle of a three-week break having not played since a 1-1 draw against Luton Town a week and a half ago.
Since then, Palace spent a period in Marbella on a warm weather training camp which included a friendly against Bodo/Glimt.
But now several players native to Selhurst Park are heading on international duty over the next week or so.
So with this in mind, here’s a complete list of every international fixture which could include a Palace player over this international break.
Joachim Andersen Denmark schedule
Palace defender Joachim Andersen will be keen on continuing his run of 16 starts in Denmark’s last 19 games and achieving his 30th cap.
He will have the opportunity with the Red and Whites set to play two friendlies in preparation for this summer’s European Championships in Germany.
Already drawn in Group C, Denmark will have to battle through a group featuring Slovenia, England and Serbia if he is to have a successful tournament.
- Saturday, March 23rd 2024 vs Switzerland
- Tuesday, March 26th 2024 vs Faroe Islands
Jordan Ayew Ghana schedule
Jordan Ayew has been called up for Ghana for the first time since AFCON, with new Black Stars’ manager Otto Addo picking the Palace man.
Ayew will be eager to impress Addo who replaced Chris Hughton after the disappointment of AFCON in January.
It won’t be an easy outing for Ghana and Ayew will have to take on the AFCON finalists, Ghana.
- Friday, March 22nd 2024 vs Nigeria
- Tuesday, March 26th 2024 vs Uganda
Sam Johnstone England schedule
Called back into the England set-up, Sam Johnstone will be desperate to stake his claim to be named in the Euros squad this summer.
Given it’s a pair of friendlies he could be handed the chance to add to his four previous starts which have all resulted in clean sheets.
For England, the two friendlies will come against two of the best national sides in the world so a good gauge as to where they are before a Euros campaign in which silverware is on the mind.
- Saturday, March 23rd 2024 vs Brazil
- Tuesday, March 26th 2024 vs Belgium
Jefferson Lerma and Daniel Munoz Colombia schedule
Palace’s Colombian duo of Jefferson Lerma and Daniel Munoz have both been called into the Colombian national team.
The two players were both signed this season and are Palace’s first two Colombian players.
They’ll now be looking to add to their 39 [Lerma] and 23 [Munoz] senior caps, while Colombia will look to extend a tremendous 21-game unbeaten run.
- Friday, March 22nd 2024 vs Spain
- Tuesday, March 26th 2024 vs Romania
Chris Richards United States schedule
Chris Richards will be hoping to return to Copers Cope next week with a CONCACAF Nations League winners medal after being called up for USA.
The United States are the defending champions and Richards scored in the previous final.
The semi-finals will be played on Thursday before the USA will play either the third-placed playoff or final over the weekend.

- Sunday 24th or Monday 25th March 2024 in the CONCACAF Nations League third-placed playoff or final
Adam Wharton England Elite League squad schedule
Adam Wharton has been called up into the England Elite League squad which is a rebrand of the U20s.

Justin Devenny and Craig Farquhar Northern Ireland U21 schedule
Palace also have two representatives in the Northern Irish U21 side with Justin Devenny and Craig Farquhar both called up.
Devenny featured in last week’s friendly against Bodo/Glimt, and had impressed Eberechi Eze while in Marbella and will look to impress his international boss, as will on loan Farquhar who’s at Larne FC.
Northern Ireland only have three points from their opening five games which makes solid results here vital.
