Norwich City had six players on international duty today between senior and Under-21 levels.

Adam Idah and Shane Duffy were involved from the start as the Republic of Ireland suffered defeat against France in their UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying group.

Aurelien Tchouameni and Marcus Thuram scored in a 2-0 win for the World Cup finalists.

In the same group, Dimitris Giannoulis played the final 20 minutes as Greece were beaten 3-0 by the Netherlands.

Loan signing Ui-jo Hwang came on for South Korea at the Cardiff City Stadium where they endured a goalless draw with Wales.

The striker has yet to feature for Norwich after completing a deadline day temporary move from Nottingham Forest.

Sean Stewart, currently on loan at Cliftonville, came on for the final half-hour of the Northern Ireland Under-21s' opening Under-21 EURO 2025 qualifier against Luxembourg.

The left-back's set-piece deliveries caused problems for Luxembourg but it couldn't stop Northern Ireland falling to a 1-0 defeat at Mourneview Park. Goalkeeper Dylan Berry who is also part of the squad was unused in the game.

Meanwhile, Academy player Elliot Myles featured off the bench yesterday as England's Under-17s suffered a 3-2 defeat to Portugal.

The Young Lions got off to a great start, going 2-0 ahead after just 11 minutes but would eventually be pegged back and defeated.
