Having began our look at the workloads of the key players across all 20 Premier League teams over the international break with yesterday’s first instalment, we cast our eye over the remaining teams this morning, as we check in on players’ form, minutes played and match locations across the previous fortnight.
NEWCASTLE
Only Chancel Mbemba had a heavy workload among Steve McClaren’s squad, and with the second of DR Congo’s matches played on Sunday, the centre-back appears likely to be okay for the home clash against Leicester on Saturday. Rob Elliot failed to feature for the Republic of Ireland due to on-going injury but is on course to make the weekend visit of Leicester.
Chancel Mbemba – DR Congo (12/11 (a) v Burundi in Bujumbura and 15/11 (h) v Burundi in Kinshasa) – Played all 180 minutes.
Paul Dummett – Wales (13/11 (h) v Holland in Cardiff) – Played 25 minutes as a substitute.

NORWICH
Youssouf Mulumbu and Dieumerci Mbokani both face long-haul flights back home after turning out for DR Congo over the break. Martin Olsson, Alex Tettey Robbie Brady and Wesley Hoolahan all featured in the recent Euro 2016 play-offs but emerged injury-free, with Brady bagging a goal and assist for the Republic of Ireland.
Martin Olsson – Sweden (14/11 (h) v Denmark in Solna and 17/11 (a) v Denmark in Copenhagen) – Played all 90 minutes in the first leg of the Euro 2016 playoff, but only got four minutes off the bench in the second leg as the Swedes booked their place in the finals.
Alex Tettey – Norway (12/11 (h) v Hungary in Oslo and 15/11 (a) v Hungary in Budapest) – Played all 180 minutes as Norway failed to qualify for Euro 2016, going down 3-1 on aggregate.
Robbie Brady and Wesley Hoolahan – Republic of Ireland (13/11 (a) v Bosnia-Herzegovina in Zenica and 16/11 (h) v Bosnia-Herzegovina in Dublin) – Brady played 176 minutes across the two matches, scoring in the 1-1 draw in Zenica, and bagging an assist in the 2-0 victory in Dublin. Hoolahan also started both matches, playing 60 minutes in the first leg and 54 minutes in the second leg.
Youssouf Mulumbu and Dieumerci Mbokani – DR Congo (12/11 (a) v Burundi in Bujumbura and 15/11 (h) v Burundi in Kinshasa) – Mulumbu only played 45 minutes in the first match. Mbokani played 174 minutes across the two matches, but did score an own goal in the 2-2 draw on Sunday.
Kyle Lafferty – Northern Ireland (13/11 (h) v Latvia in Belfast) – Played just 54 minutes in the 1-0 victory.
SOUTHAMPTON
Virgil van Dijk picked up a knee problem against Wales but the defender is confident he will be available for the weekend clash against Stoke. Maya Yoshida, Victor Wanyama and Sadio Mane had the furthest distances to travel and will need to be assessed upon their arrival. Mane and Steven Davis were amongst the goals over the break, whilst Shane Long recovered from injury to features for the Republic of Ireland.
Cedric Soares and Jose Fonte – Portugal (14/11 (a) v Russia in Krasnodar and 17/11 (a) v Luxembourg in Luxembourg City) – Soares only played the full 90 minutes in Russia, while Fonte only played the full match against Luxembourg.
Maya Yoshida – Japan (12/11 (a) v Singapore in Kallang and 17/11 (a) v Cambodia in Phnom Penh) – Played all 180 minutes and got on the scoresheet against Singapore.
Matt Targett and James Ward-Prowse – England U21s (12/11 (a) v Bosnia-Herzegovina in Sarajevo and 16/11 (h) v Switzerland in Brighton) – Both played all 180 minutes, with Ward-Prowse scoring a penalty in the 3-1 win against Switzerland.

STOKE
Geoff Cameron and Mame Biram Diouf will need checking ahead of the trip to Southampton as both are expected to arrive back to England slightly late. Mark Hughes will be delighted with Jack Butland’s impressive form continuing on the international stage, while the Irish contingent will arrive back at the Britannia in buoyant mood after they qualified for Euro 2016. Jon Walters’ double could keep him ahead of Diouf in the race for the lone striker role.
Jack Butland – England (13/11 (a) v Spain in Alicante and 17/11 (h) v France in London) – Came on to play the second-half against France.
Geoff Cameron – USA (13/11 (h) v St. Vincent and the Grenadines in St. Louis and 17/11 (a) v Trinidad and Tobago in Port of Spain) – Played 63 minutes against St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and got on the scoresheet in the 6-1 win. Also played the full match against Trinidad and Tobago.
Marc Wilson, Glenn Whelan and Jon Walters – Republic of Ireland (13/11 (a) v Bosnia-Herzegovina in Zenica and 16/11 (h) v Bosnia-Herzegovina in Dublin) – Wilson only played 23 minutes off the bench in the first leg. Whelan started both matches, and only missed a couple of minutes of the second leg, having been replaced in stoppage time. Walters was the hero in the second leg, scoring the two goals that sent Martin O’Neill’s side through to Euro 2016. The attacker played the full 90 minutes in Dublin, having been suspended for the first leg.
Marko Arnautovic – Austria (17/11 (h) v Switzerland in Vienna) – 90 minutes.
Xherdan Shaqiri – Switzerland (13/11 (a) v Slovakia in Trnava and 17/11 (a) v Austria in Vienna) – Played the full match against Slovakia, and 88 minutes in the 2-1 win against Austria.

SUNDERLAND
John O’Shea is available for the trip to Selhurst Park on Monday night, having played a part for Republic of Ireland as they qualified for Euro 2016. The centre-back had missed the Black Cats last two matches because of a hamstring problem. DeAndre Yedlin and Sebastian Coates will need to be assessed given their playing time and the long journeys back to England. Duncan Watmore staked a claim for a second successive start by starring for England U21s.
DeAndre Yedlin – USA (13/11 (h) v St. Vincent and the Grenadines in St. Louis and 17/11 (a) v Trinidad and Tobago in Port of Spain) – Played all 180 minutes.

Duncan Watmore – England U21s (12/11 (a) v Bosnia-Herzegovina in Sarajevo and 16/11 (h) v Switzerland in Brighton) – Played 20 minutes off the bench in the first match, and 15 minutes in the second, scoring and providing two assists in a 3-1 triumph over the Swiss.
SWANSEA
Garry Monk’s concerns will surround the condition of Ki Sung-yeung, Jefferson Montero and Andre Ayew when they arrive back in south Wales. All three had heavy workloads, while Ayew recovered from a knee problem during his time away with Ghana. Lukasz Fabianski didn’t feature for Poland, which is one positive for the Swans boss ahead of a crunch showdown against Bournemouth.
Ashley Williams and Neil Taylor – Wales (13/11 (h) v Holland in Cardiff) – Williams only played the first 45 minutes against the Dutch, while Taylor played 65 minutes.
Jonjo Shelvey – England (13/11 (a) v Spain in Alicante and 17/11 (h) v France in London) – Came on in stoppage time against Spain, and only got 11 minutes off the bench at Wembley.

Andre Ayew – Ghana (13/11 (a) v Comoros in Mitsamiouli and 17/11 (h) v Comoros in Kumasi) – Played all 180 minutes, despite picking up a slight knee problem after the first match.
TOTTENHAM
Dele Alli was the star of the show for England in midweek, and the midfielder should be raring to go against West Ham on Sunday. Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen should be fresh with Belgium only playing one match in the end. Christian Eriksen could be slightly fatigued after two competitive matches, but will be expected to start against the Hammers. Nabil Bentaleb returned from injury to play for Algeria – he faces a long flight home along with Heung-Min Son, who netted twice for South Korea.
Hugo Lloris – France (13/11 (h) v Germany in Paris and 17/11 (a) v England in London) – Played all 180 minutes.
Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen – Belgium (13/11 (h) v Italy in Brussels) – Both played the full 90 minutes, with Vertonghen also grabbing a goal in the 3-1 win.

Kyle Walker, Eric Dier, Dele Alli, Ryan Mason and Harry Kane – England (13/11 (a) v Spain in Alicante and 17/11 (h) v France in London) – Walker only played the full match in Alicante. Dier played 27 minutes as a substitute against Spain and the full match against France. Alli also got 27 minutes off the bench against the Spanish, and played 88 minutes at Wembley, netting a spectacular long-range effort to register his first international goal. Mason was an unused substitute against France, while Kane totalled 170 minutes, having been replaced with 10 minutes to go against France.
Christian Eriksen – Denmark (13/11 (a) v Sweden in Solna and 17/11 (h) v Sweden in Copenhagen) – Played all 180 minutes, and provided an assist in the second leg.
Erik Lamela – Argentina (14/11 (h) v Brazil in Buenos Aires and 17/11 (a) v Colombia in Barranquilla) – Limited to just nine minutes off the bench against Brazil.
Clinton N’Jie – Cameroon (13/11 (a) v Niger in Niamey and 17/11 (h) v Niger in Yaoundé) – Started both matches, playing 64 minutes in the first encounter, and 69 in the second.
Heung-Min Son – South Korea (12/11 (h) v Myanmar in Suwon and 17/11 (a) v Laos in Vientiane) – Played 23 minutes off the bench against Myanmar, and completed the full 90 minutes in the 5-0 win over Laos, scoring twice.
Nabil Bentaleb – Algeria (14/11 (a) v Tanzania in Dar-es-Salaam and 17/11 (h) v Tanzania in Blida) – Played 45 minutes as a sub in the first match and started the second fixture. He was subbed off on 36 minutes after earning an early booking, though reports in the local press today now indicate the midfielder picked up an injury and will be assessed today.
WATFORD
Sebastian Prodl is a doubt for the home clash against Man United on Saturday, but the Austrian has lost his place to Miguel Britos in recent weeks in any case. Juan Carlos Paredes and Odion Ighalo both had heavy workloads and have travelled long distances, so will need to be assessed through today and tomorrow.
Craig Cathcart – Northern Ireland (13/11 (h) v Latvia in Belfast) – Played the full 90 minutes.
Juan Carlos Paredes – Ecuador (12/11 (h) v Uruguay in Quito and 17/11 (a) v Venezuela in Ciudad Guayana) – Played all 180 minutes, and registered an assist in each match.

Valon Behrami – Switzerland (13/11 (a) v Slovakia in Trnava and 17/11 (a) v Austria in Vienna) – Played 32 minutes as a substitute against Slovakia, and played the full 90 minutes in Vienna.

Odion Ighalo – Nigeria (13/11 (a) v Swaziland in Lobamba and 17/11 (h) v Swaziland in Port Harcourt) – Played all 180 minutes.
WEST BROM
Tony Pulis will have been happy to hear that Salomon Rondon didn’t feature in the first of Venezuela’s two matches, but the forward still has a long flight home ahead of Saturday’s home encounter against Arsenal. Stephane Sessegnon played two matches and also has some travel to contend with, as does Christian Gamboa, although he has barely featured for the Baggies this season.
Gareth McAuley and Jonny Evans – Northern Ireland (13/11 (h) v Latvia in Belfast) – Both played the full 90 minutes.
James Chester – Wales (13/11 (h) v Holland in Cardiff) – 90 minutes.

James McClean – Republic of Ireland (13/11 (a) v Bosnia-Herzegovina in Zenica and 16/11 (h) v Bosnia-Herzegovina in Dublin) – Came on as a substitute in both matches, playing 30 minutes in the first leg, and 36 minutes in the second leg.
Stephane Sessegnon – Benin (12/11 (h) v Burkina Faso in Cotonou and 17/11 (a) v Burkina Faso in Ouagadougou) – Played all 180 minutes, and scored a penalty in the 2-1 win in the first match.
Salomon Rondon – Venezuela (12/11 (a) v Bolivia in La Paz and 17/11 (h) v Ecuador in Ciudad Guayana) – Was surprisingly left out of the squad for the first match, but played the full 90 minutes against Ecuador.
WEST HAM
The Hammers had few international call-ups, and provided Cheikhou Kouyate arrives back in a good condition, there shouldn’t be any issues for Slaven Bilic ahead of the trip to Tottenham on Sunday. Back-up stopper Darren Randolph is a slight doubt after picking up a knock whilst on duty for the Republic of Ireland.
Darren Randolph – Republic of Ireland (13/11 (a) v Bosnia-Herzegovina in Zenica and 16/11 (h) v Bosnia-Herzegovina in Dublin) – Played all 180 minutes.
James Collins – Wales (13/11 (h) v Holland in Cardiff) – Came on as a half-time substitute.
Cheikhou Kouyate – Senegal (13/11 (a) v Madagascar in Antananarivo and 17/11 (h) v Madagascar in Dakar) – Started both matches, playing 80 minutes in the first and 88 minutes in the second, where he also scored in a 3-0 win.
