International results round-up

Here’s a round-up of how Paris Saint-Germain’s 14 players fared with their respective countries over the October international break.

JADE LE GUILLY / THINIBA SAMOURA / GRACE GEYORO - FRANCE

Jade Le Guilly's, Thiniba Samoura's and Grace Geyoro's France had a mixed time of things over the October international break. Following Élisa De Almeida's and Sakina Karchaoui's withdrawals from the squad, Les Bleues started off with a 3-0 friendly win over Jamaica at Montbéliard's Stade Auguste Bonal on Friday, with both Samoura and Geyoro playing the full 90 minutes. Four days later, though, Laurent Bonadei's players were beaten 2-1 by Switzerland at Lancy's Stade de Genève, where, this time around, it was Le Guilly who featured in the entirety of the encounter as she made her senior debut for France. Her two Rouge et Bleu teammates, meanwhile, came into this game as half-time substitutes.

MARY EARPS - ENGLAND

'You win some, you lose some' – that was the story for Mary Earps's England over the October break, too, as the Lionesses followed up last Friday's 4-3 defeat to Germany at Wembley Stadium with a 2-1 victory over South Africa at the Coventry Building Society Arena four days later. The Paris Saint-Germain keeper was an unused substitute in the first friendly but played for the entirety of the second one.

JACKIE GROENEN / ROMÉE LEUCHTER - NETHERLANDS

Jackie Groenen's and Romée Leuchter's Netherlands also had two friendlies lined up during the October break and crucially won both of them. De Leeuwinnen thumped Indonesia 15-0 at Stadion De Vijverberg in Doetinchem last Friday, four days before coming away from Esbjerg Stadion with a 2-1 win over Denmark. Both Rouge et Bleu players gave an excellent account of themselves, too, as Groenen notched up an assist in the second encounter while Leuchter bagged herself a brace as well as an assist in the opening match.

PAULINA DUDEK - POLAND

A lot more was at stake for Paulina Dudek recently, though, as her Poland side twice faced Romania in the first round of qualifying play-offs for UEFA Women's EURO 2025. The Biało-czerwone ensured their passage through to the second round by following up their 2-1 first-leg win at Bucharest's Stadionul Arcul de Triumf – in which Dudek played a full part – with a 4-1 victory in the second leg at Gdańsk Stadium four days later. Nina Patalon's players will now face Austria in another two-legged tie in November and December as they look to definitively book their ticket for next summer's tournament.

EVA GAETINO / KORBIN ALBERT - UNITED STATES

It was a busy but successful international break for Eva Gaetino's and Korbin Albert's United States, who earned three victories from their three home friendlies. The Stars and Stripes began with a double header against Iceland, which saw them win 3-1 last Thursday at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas, and then again by the same scoreline three days later at GEODIS Park in Nashville, Tennessee. Finally, Emma Hayes's side rounded things off with a 3-0 win over Argentina last night at Lynn Family Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky, where Gaetino was named in the starting XI for what was her senior USWNT debut. Her club teammate, meanwhile, featured in the entirety of the second game against Iceland and came on as a substitute shortly after the half-time break against La Albiceleste.

TARA ELIMBI GILBERT / LAURINA FAZER / OCÉANE HURTRÉ / MANSSITA TRAORÉ - FRANCE U23s

Tara Elimbi Gilbert, Laurina Fazer, Océane Hurtré and Manssita Traoré had two friendlies pencilled in with France's U23s this month. Last Thursday, Les Bleuettes were beaten 3-0 by their German counterparts at DFB Campus in Frankfurt – with Elimbi Gilbert starting and Fazer coming on as a substitute – before they ran out 3-0 winners themselves against Belgium's U23s four days later at CNF Clairefontaine, with Fazer and Traoré both named in the starting XI. In fact, the former of the two would open the scoring in this game with a fine hit from midfield, while Hurtré featured for the final half-hour.

FRøYA DORSIN - NORWAY U19S

It was a similar story for Paris striker Frøya Dorsin with Norway's U19s this month, as the Løvinnene followed up their 2-1 win over Germany's U19s last Friday with a 2-0 loss to England's U19s three days later. Having started both friendlies at Portugal's Complexo Desportivo de Vila Real de Santo António as the captain of her side, Dorsin notably opened the scoring in the first match.
