Real Madrid Stars Scatter Across the Globe: Where to Catch All 12 Players in International Action
A dozen Real Madrid stars are preparing to represent their nations during the October international window.
Following their impressive 3–1 triumph against Villarreal that restored them to the summit of La Liga, several of Xabi Alonso's key players departed the Spanish capital to join their national squads for the upcoming fortnight.
Spanning 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying campaigns to exhibition matches, the selected players will compete across Europe, Asia and South America during this temporary halt to the 2025–26 club season.
While stars like Jude Bellingham, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde stayed behind in Madrid, 12 players, headlined by Kylian Mbappé, will aim to deliver crucial performances for their countries in October.
Here's your comprehensive breakdown of tracking every Real Madrid player throughout the October international window.

Real Madrid boasts global representation in October, featuring players from eight distinct nations receiving call-ups. Mbappé and Eduardo Camavinga lead the French contingent, though the former continues managing an ankle problem sustained against Villarreal.
Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo and Éder Militão return to Brazil duty after missing Carlo Ancelotti's previous squad selection. While the Seleção lacks the pressure-filled 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixtures faced by France, Belgium, Türkiye, Spain, Austria and Morocco, their exhibition matches will take them across Asia.
Alonso will be hoping to avoid significant injuries to his key players during this break, particularly Dean Huijsen and David Alaba considering Real Madrid's already depleted defensive options.
