In Euro 2024 qualification Group B, Konate started and finished France’s 1-0 away victory against the Republic of Ireland, for whom Caoimhin Kelleher was an unused substitute.
Van Dijk captained the Netherlands to a 3-0 home triumph versus Gibraltar that saw Gakpo return from illness to play the second half.
Finally, Kostas Tsimikas had to be substituted midway through the first half of Greece’s friendly goalless stalemate with Lithuania.
