Just Blackpool vs Shrewsbury and Stevenage vs Lincoln are going ahead in League One this weekend, due to international call-ups; nine players called up for Northern Ireland, five for Jamaica, two for New Zealand, among many others
International breaks used to give clubs in League One and League Two a chance to take centre stage, with Premier League and Championship clubs out of action for a fortnight every couple of months.
It’s rarely the case anymore. In fact, this weekend, there are just two matches in League One, with 10 having been called off as a result of international call-ups.
The EFL rules state that a postponement can be requested when three or more players are called up for their respective national teams so, here, we take a look at each postponed fixture and which players have been called up from either team.
