Sadio Mane and Dusan Tadic are among a host of Saints players already called up for international duty next week.

Mane has been included in Senegal’s squad for their upcoming African Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Tunisia.

Tadic has been picked by Serbia for the Euro 2016 qualifiers against Armenia and Albania, which kickstart their campaign.

Senegal, who host Group G rivals Tunisia on Friday, October 10, before travelling to face them on Wednesday, October 15, currently top the standings, ahead of their opponents on goal difference.

Mane will be looking to continue his fine individual form, having scored in his nation’s opening wins against Egypt and Botswana.

Emmanuel Mayuka will also be on AFCON qualifying duty with Zambia, who are third in Group F with one point from two games and who will face bottom side Niger in a double-header.

Elsewhere, Northern Ireland skipper Steven Davis has already been confirmed in his country’s squad for the Euro 2016 qualifiers against Faroe Islands and Greece, as they look to build on their opening win in Hungary.

Japan centre-half Maya Yoshida has two friendly games to look forward, against Jamaica and Brazil, with more Saints set to be picked for international duty in the coming days.
