Mohammed Kudus made an immediate impact on his return to Ghana duty, while Pedro Porro started as Spain continued their perfect Nations League campaign on Thursday night.
Several Tottenham players were involved in international action on November 12, with Sandro Tonali also helping Italy to an impressive victory over France and Pape Matar Sarr featuring in Senegal’s win against Sudan.
Kudus provides an assist on Ghana return
Kudus made his first appearance for Ghana in 2026 as the Black Stars beat Somalia 2-0 in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The Spurs midfielder played a key role in the victory, setting up Felix Afena-Gyan for Ghana’s second goal in the 62nd minute.
He also helped create pressure from a corner in the move that led to Jonas Adjetey’s opening goal just before half-time.
It was an encouraging return for Kudus, who was one of Ghana’s most-influential attacking players as they secured their first points of the qualifying campaign.
Porro starts as Spain beat Czechia
Porro was named in Spain’s starting XI for their trip to the Czech Republic and played 76 minutes before being replaced by Marc Pubill.
Spain won 2-0 thanks to an Álex Baena penalty and a stoppage-time goal from Pubill.
The Tottenham right-back was booked in the first half but helped Spain keep control of the contest.
Antonin Kinsky was named among the Czech substitutes but did not feature against his club team-mate.
Tonali and Sarr also in action
Tonali started for Italy and played the full match as the Azzurri came from behind to beat France 3-1 in Milan.
Michael Olise gave France an early lead, but Pio Esposito scored twice either side of Davide Frattesi’s goal to complete an impressive comeback. Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was an unused substitute.
Sarr also featured as Senegal defeated Sudan 4-1 in their AFCON qualifier. Senegal led 2-1 before pulling away after the break, with the Spurs midfielder replaced in the 71st minute.
There is more international action to come over the weekend, with Micky van de Ven, Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson, Mateus Fernandes, Dejan Kulusevski and several other Spurs players due to represent their countries.
A total of 17 Tottenham players have been called up for international duty over the next two weeks.
