Round-upInternationals: Alisson and Konate involved in Thursday's action

Alisson was a starter for Brazil and played the full game, keeping a clean sheet, as they drew 0-0 at Ecuador in South American qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

Konate, meanwhile, also completed the whole match in rather different circumstances for France, who were beaten 5-4 by Spain in their UEFA Nations League semi-final in Stuttgart.

Les Bleus will therefore contest a third-place tie against Germany on Sunday, while Spain go through to meet Diogo Jota’s Portugal in the final.

Wataru Endo was an unused substitute for already-qualified Japan in their 1-0 defeat by Australia in the Asian preliminaries for the World Cup.
