Internationals: World Cup qualifiers for 15 stars

After three Premier League matches, we take our first international break of the 2025/26 season, with qualification for the World Cup firmly on the agenda.

Captain Martin Odegaard will skipper Norway in two fixtures this break, a friendly against Finland before facing Moldova in a World Cup qualifier. Martin's nation sits at the top of Group I with four wins from four so far.

In the same group is Riccardo Calafiori's Italy. The Azzurri have featured twice in Group I so far, with one win and one defeat to Norway, putting them in third place.
