Here is an update on the seven international call-ups received by Huddersfield Town players for the September 2022 international break.
Sorba Thomas – Wales

Jamaica’s last game ended in a 1-1 draw against this year’s World Cup hosts in August 2022, so Russell will be looking for a win in his first international call-up.
Yuta Nakayama – Japan
A regular in the Japanese squad, Nakayama has been called up to join them for the September international break as they prepare to compete in the World Cup this winter.
