Adingra called up by the Ivory Coast for friendlies against Australia and Canada.
O'Riley recalled by Denmark for friendlies against Northern Ireland and Lithuania - his last minutes for Denmark were in March 2024.
Lamptey and Osman not in the Ghana squad - Lamptey omitted due to injury. Baleba also getting a break from football as he isn't in Cameroon's squad for friendlies against Uganda and Equatorial Guinea.

No Brazil call up for Pedro, denying us an Albion faceoff between him, Enciso, and Gomez when Brazil play Paraguay next month.

Andrew Moran was a belated call-up to the Republic of Ireland squad, Pervis Estupinan is in the Ecuador squad and Malick Yalcouye has been called up for the Ivory Coast U-23 side for a friendly in the Netherlands on Friday June 6 (not that a call-up in itself means anything as far as Malick is concerned 
).

Gomez training with Paraguay based on his Instagram story - no clue whether Enciso, who has just gotten married, is.

Sounds like Kaoru is one of a number of Japan stars to be given the break off, nothing to be concerned by after all https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...s-japan-world-cup-qualifiers-football-preview

Yalcouye has turned up for training with the Ivory Coast U-23s
To be fair to him, when he was named in the original full Mali squad way back in September 2024 (but then wasn't named in a revised squad a few days later), the Ivory Coast Federation's President was quoted as saying "Malick Yalcouye refused the Malian selection. He will be at the next grouping for the Ivory Coast youth team."
He was then named in the Ivory Coast U-20 squad back in March but didn't show. Who knows what went on there - African football can appear somewhat farcical at times! But better late than never.

Indeed - perhaps the photo I flagged is of him leaving training after a few hours to join the Mali squad instead
