CITY striker Simeon Jackson was in action for Canada this week, as he played a part in two friendly matches for his country including a first win in 14 months against Honduras.
The Canaries' summer signing played for just over an hour in the country's 2-0 defeat to Peru on the weekend, but he soon bounced back with his team to secure a 2-1 win over 2010 World Cup campaigners Honduras and put an end to a run of eight games without a win.
Goals from former Millwall midfielder Josh Simpson and former Hearts defender Kevin McKenna were enough to secure a good friendly victory for the Canucks, raising morale ahead of the start of their World Cup 2014 qualification campaign.
Ex-City striker Craig Bellamy failed to fire Wales to victory over Montenegro on Friday as they fell to a 1-0 defeat in Podgorica, a game that Canaries' midfielder Andrew Crofts was forced to miss with a groin problem; although he should be fit to play for the Canaries against Barnsley on Saturday.
Former City defender David Stephens was in also in action for Wales, as he played a part in the Welsh Under-21's quest for qualification for the 2011 Under-21 European Championships in Denmark.
The Academy product played a full 90 minutes in their 1-0 win over Hungary on the weekend. But the now Hibernian player was forced to watch from the sidelines as they lost 1-0 to Italy on Tuesday, a result that ensured Brian Flynn's side missed out on qualification by just goal difference to their Italian counterparts.
Elsewhere, former City goalkeeper Matt Gilks took his place on the bench for Scotland's last gasp victory over Liechtenstein, whilst another former Canaries' stopper David Marshall played a similar role during the Scots 0-0 draw with Lithuania on the weekend.
