While Philadelphia Union were not in action this past weekend, five members of the Boys in Blue were competing for their homelands in international play around the globe.

Andre Blake played every minute of Jamaica's CONCACAF Nations League group stage matches, which saw the Reggae Boyz collect four points. Their run began with a scoreless draw against Cuba and was capped off with a 2-1 win over Honduras, in which Blake made three saves.

The newest member of the Boys in Blue, Danley Jean Jacques, started both matches for Haiti in their CONCACAF Nations League group stage. Danley found the back of the net off a corner kick in Haiti's 4-1 victory over Puerto Rico. He also started in their win against Sint Maarten but had to be substituted in the first half.

Homegrown midfielder Cavan Sullivan played in all three matches for the U.S. Under-17 Men's Youth National Team as they participated in the Vaclav Jezek Tournament in Mikulov, Czech Republic. Sullivan started against Germany and the Czech Republic and entered as a second-half substitute in their finale against Slovakia.

Tai Baribo joined the Israeli National Team for their UEFA Nations League matches against Belgium and Italy. The Union striker was an unused substitute in their 3-1 loss to Belgium and then was not part of the matchday roster in their 2-1 setback to Italy.

Bueno was a late call-up to the Venezuelan national team as he joined La Vinotinto as an injury replacement for the September window. Bueno was not part of the matchday squad for Venezuela’s 4-0 road loss to Bolivia. In the nation's home contest against Uruguay that ended in a scoreless draw, the Union midfielder was available as a substitute but did not appear as he continues to wait for his first cap with the senior national squad.
