Chelsea stars are currently representing their countries less than two weeks before their Club World Cup campaign gets underway in the United States.
A number of Blues have carried on their individual good form on the international stage. Moises Caicedo dominated for Ecuador up against Brazil in a game where Estevao Willian made his first start for his country.
Noni Madueke was a sole shining light in an underwhelming performance from England under Thomas Tuchel, as he looks to cement himself in the new manager’s long-term plans.
Elsewhere in Europe, Serbia earned a point against Albania in World Cup qualification, however they can be thankful to Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic for rescuing the situation.
Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic is Player of the Match on international duty
The shot stopper was on hand to save a penalty from the opposition, rightfully earning himself the title of player of the match from the stalemate draw.
As well as his four saves, he only misplaced two passes all game, continuing to show vast improvement in that area of his game.

Petrovic was arguably the Chelsea player on loan who enjoyed the most successful time developing last season.
Petrovic picked up the Strasbourg player of the season award, beating Andrey Santos to the acclaim. While the Brazilian is set to feature under Enzo Maresca next season, the future of the goalkeeper is not so certain.
Chelsea set to replace Djordje Petrovic
Reports have claimed that Chelsea are closing in on the signing of Mike Maignan from AC Milan, after sensing an opportunity at a cut-price deal due to his contract running out in the next 12 months.
This could signal the end of some of the current crop at Stamford Bridge. It has been claimed that Maresca has lost faith in Robert Sanchez after his underwhelming season.
Petrovic is likely to attract plenty of attention this summer, and with a new number one likely to come through the door, the expectation is that he can move on should a good enough offer come in.
After joining the club for just £14m, there’s a high chance Chelsea will make a significant profit on the goalkeeper if he does move on.
