First team
Ochoa, Santa Cruz and Rosales represent their respective countries

Málaga CF’s Roque Santa Cruz, Roberto Rosales and Guillermo Ochoa have been called up to join their national squads for the FIFA match calendar, taking place between 1st and 10th September.

Mexican-born goalkeeper, Guillermo Ochoa will represent his country in two preparation matches; the first against Chile in San Francisco on 6th September, the second in Denver against Bolivia, on 9th September.
 
Santa Cruz returns to captain Paraguay during the FIFA calendar, however the first of the two friendlies scheduled (3rd September) could be postponed due to the international conflict in Ukraine which has been ongoing for several months.  If this game does not go ahead, Santa Cruz will be in action on 7th September in Villach (Austria) against the United Arab Emirates, which will be his 100th match as a Paraguayan international.
 
Lastly, Roberto Rosales will be wearing the ‘vinotinto’ shirt in Asia, as Venezuela take on the Republic of Korea in Seoul on 5th September, and Japan in Tokyo four days later.
