On Friday evening, Ethan Nwaneri was the only BVB player participating in the U21 European Championship qualifiers for England. The match against Slovakia ended in a 0-0 draw, but Nwaneri's effort allowed England to take the lead in the group stages. Daniel Svensson missed out on the match due to Sweden's line-up, with the team facing Bosnia and Herzegovina next.
Saturday saw Switzerland's Gregor Kobel concede his first goal of the tournament during their match against Slovenia. Despite the setback, Switzerland bounced back with a 2-1 victory, securing the top spot with nine points after three games. They will face North Macedonia, the group's lowest-ranked team, next.
Enzo Dos Santos made his debut in the Nations League for Luxembourg against Estonia on Tuesday. The 17-year-old Borussia Dortmund player started in central midfield but had to endure a poor opening due to Estonia's early goal. Luxembourg currently sits in third place with three points after three matchdays, awaiting a match against Bulgaria on Tuesday.
In the U21 European Championship qualifiers, France maintained their lead with a 3-2 victory over Luxembourg, despite receiving a red card to Joane Gadou.

France leads the standings with 23 points, while Luxembourg occupies fifth place with seven points. The nine BVB players made appearances in their respective national teams' games on Thursday.
