West Ham United's international stars have been in action this week for their respective countries.
The Hammers have 19 players on international duty ahead of the return of the Premier League next weekend, with the players potentially playing in a total of 34 matches combined.
Friday saw four fixtures take place involving five West Ham stars, Ollie Scarles for England Under-18s, Arthur Masuaku for DR Congo, Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal for the Czech Republic, and Alphonse Areola for France.

Of the quintet, Areola was the only player who did not feature at all, watching the 90 minutes on the bench as the 2022 World Cup finalists beat the Netherlands 4-0.
Scarles played 90 minutes for England's U18s in a 3-0 defeat to Belgium in what was his full debut. The midfielder signed his first professional contract in December and has featured in the UEFA Europa Conference League this season.
Masuaku, currently on loan with Turkish side Besiktas, scored for DR Congo to help his side win 3-1 against Mauritania. His left-footed strike from outside the box went in off the underside of the crossbar.
Soucek and Coufal both started for the Czech Republic in their 3-1 win over Poland, despite the latter missing West Ham's last three games with a heel injury.
It took Coufal one minute to make an impact, grabbing an assist for Ladislav Krejci, and the right back lasted 70 minutes before being replaced. Soucek picked up a booking during the tie.
On Saturday, nine West Ham players could be in action. Finlay Herrick and Josh Briggs potentially in the England Under-17s vs Northern Ireland Under-17s tie and Divin Mubama for England Under-19s vs Iceland Under-19s.
Callum Marshall could play for Northern Ireland Under-19s vs Romania Under-19s while Ben Johnson is an option for England Under-21s vs France Under 21s.
Out on loan Nikola Vlaisc could represent Croatia vs Wales, Thilo Kehrer is an option for Germany against Peru and Nayef Aguerd could come up against Lucas Paqueta when Morocco play Brazil.
