Eight Middlesbrough Players Conclude International Duty

In the past week, not only Liverpool loanee Ben Doak but also seven other Middlesbrough players were away on international duty. Among them was Doak’s Scotland team-mate, Tommy Conway, who started as a forward in Scotland’s 1-0 Nations League home victory against Croatia and was an unused substitute in the 2-1 win in Poland. Scotland’s two victories in their final two Group A1 fixtures have given them an opportunity to avoid relegation to League B, contingent on a play-off scheduled for March of next year. Finn Azaz entered the game as a 76th-minute substitute for the Republic of Ireland in their 1-0 win over Finland on Thursday. Three days later, he played 23 minutes in the 5-0 Nations League defeat to England at Wembley. Ireland is also set to participate in a play-off in four months to determine if they will remain in League B or be relegated to League C. Isaiah Jones played the full 90 minutes in both of Guyana’s Concacaf Nations League play-in round matches against Barbados. Jones provided an assist in a 4-1 win on Saturday and scored a goal in a 5-3 victory on Tuesday. Below is a summary of how other Middlesbrough players performed: Riley McGree played the full 90 minutes for Australia in a 0-0 draw with Saudi Arabia and 81 minutes in a 2-2 draw with Bahrain during their Asian World Cup qualifiers. Anfernee Dijksteel featured for 21 minutes for Suriname in their 1-0 loss to Canada in the initial leg of the Concacaf Nations League quarter-final. He remained on the bench as an unused substitute in the second leg, which resulted in a 3-0 defeat. Aidan Morris received a call-up to the USA squad but was not included in the matchday roster for their 1-0 and 4-2 victories against Jamaica in the Concacaf Nations League quarter-final. Goalkeeper Seny Dieng was an unused substitute for Senegal in their 1-0 win over Burkina Faso and their 2-0 victory against Burundi during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying group stage.
