Five Blue and Whites’ players called-up by their national teams

Rosales, Mastour, Filipenko, Horta and Duje Cop have all been selected by their corresponding national teams for the forthcoming FIFA calendar.

Rosales and Filipenko are now regular fixtures on international duty, as is Ricardo Horta who returns to Portugal’s under-21s.  Mastour, who was in action with Morocco over summer, is again in Ezaki Badour’s line-up; and Duje Cop returns to Croatia nearly two years since he was last called-up by the national team coach, ahead of the 2014 Brazil World Cup.

These five international players could have been seven from the Blue and Whites’ squad.  Neither Boka nor Amrabat are able to play due to injury, despite having been pre-selected by their respective countries.
