Two Albion players swapped England duty to help their loan clubs claim important wins as domestic action returned after the three-week international break.

James Beadle and Amario Cozier-Duberry helped England U21s secure qualification for next summer’s Euros with Cozier-Duberry making his international debut when he played an hour of the 3-1 defeat to the Republic of Ireland in Cork last Tuesday.

England had secured qualification when Beadle kept a clean sheet in the 0-0 draw against Slovakia.

Back on Championship duty, Beadle had another shutout in Birmingham City’s 1-0 win over West Brom at the Hawthorns, their third away win of the season.

Meanwhile Cozier-Duberry was in good form again for Middlesbrough, playing 87 minutes of their 1-0 win over relegated Wolves, a victory that left Boro two points behind early pacesetters Swansea.

Freddie Simmonds also represented England, playing for the U19s as a second-half substitute in a 1-0 friendly defeat to Belgium.

Back on domestic duty, Simmonds came off the bench in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to League One leaders Plymouth for his loan club AFC Wimbledon.

In League Two, goalkeeper Nils Ramming and defender Charlie Tasker played the entire 90 minutes for Rochdale in a 1-1 draw against Tranmere Rovers.

Harry Howell and Kamari Doyle both came off the bench for Leicester City but couldn’t help them avoid a 3-1 home defeat to Peterborough United in League One.

Josh Robertson got 90 minutes for Fleetwood Town in last week’s 4-1 win over Barnsley in the EFL Trophy and Tommy Watson played for an hour in the same competition for Leicester, but they were beaten 2-1 by Stevenage.

In Europe, Facundo Buonanotte came on for the closing stages of Elche’s goalless draw against Celta Vigo in La Liga while in Liga 2 Matias Orozco started for CD Castellon in the 1-0 defeat against FC Andorra and Rodrigo Rego came off the bench.
