RALPH Hasenhuttl lamented the number of internationals he will be without over the next 10 days as he looks to galvanise his dejected squad.

Saints are building a squad that is recognisable on the international stage but have suffered back-to-back 1-0 defeats in the Midlands.

Hasenhuttl admitted the break would have come at a good time if he had the ability to work with the core of the group to bring them out of a mini-slump before it extends.

However, it is still to the credit of recruitment staff and the players themselves for forcing their way into their country’s plans.

For the final international break ahead of the winter World Cup in Qatar, here is every Saint heading away to serve their country.
