Fernandes, Gakpo & Dorgu join international break's injury list
Bruno Fernandes, Cody Gakpo and Patrick Dorgu all join the international break's high-profile injury list after suffering issues that have curtailed their involvement in Nations League matches.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, Liverpool striker Cody Gakpo, and Denmark midfielder Patrick Dorgu have joined the growing list of injured players in the 2026-27 men's football international break. Fernandes, who played through an injury against Wales, did not feature in the match against Norway due to ongoing issues.
Dorgu left Denmark's game against Wales after just 30 minutes, while Gakpo was forced to leave the Netherlands' 2-1 win over Serbia after only 16 minutes. The international break, which is longer than usual, will now last a week more than typical as the traditional October break has been replaced by a three-week gap in late September and early October.
