Everton players Brennan Johnson and Jake O’Brien are set for further international action on Sunday as the UEFA Nations League schedule continues, according to Read Everton. Both players completed full 90-minute appearances for their respective national teams earlier in the week and are in contention to feature again.
Brennan Johnson and the Wales national team travel to Copenhagen to face Denmark at the Parken Stadium in League A. Craig Bellamy’s side is looking to bounce back following an opening 1-0 defeat against Portugal, a match where Johnson came closest to securing an equaliser when his late effort struck the crossbar. Kick-off for Denmark versus Wales is scheduled for 5:00 pm UK time, with live broadcast coverage provided on BBC One, S4C, and digital streaming platforms including BBC iPlayer.
Meanwhile, Jake O’Brien and the Republic of Ireland head to the Nagyerdei Stadion in Debrecen to face Israel. Heimir Hallgrímsson’s team is aiming to recover after starting their campaign with a narrow 1-0 loss away to Kosovo. O’Brien started in central defence during that fixture in Pristina and is expected to retain his place in the starting lineup. The match begins at 7:45 pm UK time and will be broadcast live via Amazon Prime Video.
The international fixtures provide additional minutes for Everton’s squad members during the September international break, following appearances by James Garner and Jarrad Branthwaite for England against Spain. Both Johnson and O’Brien will look to complete another substantial shift before returning to club preparations ahead of upcoming Premier League fixtures.
