The Bundesliga is set to take an international break for the next two weeks so countries can continue with World Cup Qualifying.  Bayern Munich will have 13 players representing their countries during this break.

Joachim Löw has called Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller,  Mats Hummels and Joshua Kimmich up for Germany’s World Cup qualifier against San Marino and friendly against England. Jerome Boateng also received the call up, but he decided to stay in Munich to nurse a knee and hamstring problem he acquired  in Saturday’s draw with Hoffenheim.  Germany plays San Marino on November 11 and England on November 15.

Arjen Robben will make an appearance for the Netherlands after about a year on the sidelines due to injury.  He will be available for the Netherland’s World Cup Qualifier against Luxembourg on November 13.  However, he will sit out for the Netherland’s earlier friendly against Belgium on November 9.
