Blackburn Rovers' internationals enjoyed a fruitful weekend in action for their countries.
Valerien Ismael is currently without Balazs Toth, Nick Michalski, Kristi Montgomery, Lewis Miller, Augustus Kargbo, Andri Gudjohnsen and Igor Tyjon from his first-team squad. All have been in action over the first week of the international break.
Toth added to his two Hungary caps, starting in goal against Armenia as they continue their quest for World Cup qualification. The Rovers number one kept a clean sheet whilst goals from Daniel Lukacs and a late effort from Zsombor Gruber secured a 2-0 win. They host Portugal next up on Tuesday night.
