Hernandez grew up in Gutersloh, Germany but has decided to pledge his allegiance to the country where he was born.

Cuba are currently attempting to qualify for the CONCACAF Nations League and are in a good position with two wins from their opening two games against the Turks and Caicos Islands and Grenada.

Hernandez could make his debut for Cuba in their latest qualifying game against Dominican Republic next Sunday (1.30am GMT).

Elsewhere, Jamal Lewis and Michael McGovern have been included in Michael O'Neill's latest Northern Ireland squad for their friendly with the Republic of Ireland on Thursday and UEFA Nations League match with Austria next Sunday.

Also, Teemu Pukki will hope to continue his rich vain of form for club and country when Finland take on Greece and Hungary - both in the Nations League.

Switzerland have a friendly with Qatar and a daunting prospect in the Nations League against Belgium next weekend to contend with. Timm Klose will be hoping to add to his tally of international appearances in those games.

At youth level, Max Aarons has been included in the England Under-19s squad for their UEFA European Championship qualifers with Moldova, Iceland and Turkey.

Aarons could come up against fellow City players Atli Barkarson and Isak Thorvaldsson who have been included in the Iceland squad for their matches in Group 5.
