The latest international break is now upon us, and Wolves players go into the break following an important victory against Southampton.
Wolves’ 2-1 win over Southampton last weekend set them up nicely for the international break and eased the pressure ahead of the Premier League’s final nine games.
Before the Wolves first team can think about that, though, they must focus on their international duties.
Wolves have had 11 players called up to represent their countries, and in this guide from Molineux News, you can find out everything you need to know, including where to watch the matches and kick-off times.
