AdminMads Hermansen made a memorable international debut as one of four new faces for Denmark in their World Cup play-off clash with North Macedonia.
The former Leicester goalkeeper kept a clean sheet as Denmark ran out 4-0 winners, further fuelling speculation that he could succeed Kasper Schmeichel in the long term. Schmeichel, meanwhile, remains sidelined with a career-threatening injury.
Jordan James featured for Wales but was forced off in the 56th minute with his side leading 1-0. The Dragons eventually fell 2-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at full time. Danny Ward remained an unused substitute. The injury to JJ raises serious doubts over his availability for upcoming Leicester fixtures, with some sources even suggesting he may have played his last game of the season.
England U19 enjoyed mixed fortunes. Louis Page, Jeremy Monga, and Lorenz Hutchinson were all involved in a 4-1 home victory over Portugal, with Hutchinson netting the final goal in stoppage time and Reigan Heskey, son of Emile Heskey, opening the scoring after 11 minutes. However, Trey Nyoni and Devine Mukasa were on the losing side as England U19 went down 0-2 at home to Serbia.
Elsewhere, Andrej Kramaric came off the bench to help Croatia secure a 2-1 friendly win away to Colombia, while Ademola Lookman and Wilfred Ndidi featured as Nigeria defeated Iran 2-1 in Turkey.
