First team players Robert Snodgrass, Barry Bannan (Scotland), Davide Somma (South Africa), Max Gradel (Ivory Coast), Eric Lichaj (USA), Neil Kilkenny (Australia) and Ramon Nunez (Honduras) have all been given the call from to represent their country during this international break. Snodgrass and loanee Bannan don't have to travel far as they match up against Brazil at The Emirates stadium. Snodgrass will have fond memories from Leeds' FA Cup 3rd round tie when he converted a penelty at The Emirates to give Leeds a 1-0 lead that day. Somma and Gradel are both fairly new to the international scene but the forwards fine form has earned their respective call-ups.
Eric Lichaj has been a constant at right back for United since joining on loan to cover injured Paul Connolly. He will be hoping to get a taste as he joins the squad for games against Argentina and Paraguay. Kilkenny is familiar to the Australian set up as he missed January to play in the Asia Cup with his nation. Ramon Nunez who has been impressive for the reserve side is yet to make the breakthrough into the first team squad.
