Jesse Randall provided an assist for Dundee United in Scotland this week, as several New Zealand internationals featured for their clubs across Europe. The All Whites are building towards their next home fixture against India on 12 November.
Randall started for Dundee United in their Scottish Premiership match against St Johnstone on 17 October. He was involved in his side's goal before being substituted in the 88th minute of the 1-1 draw. The winger's contribution was a highlight in a busy period for New Zealand players abroad.
Action across the leagues
In England, Maxime Crocombe came on at half-time for Millwall in their 2-2 Championship draw with Lincoln City. Elijah Just and Marko Stamenić both featured as substitutes for Swansea City in a narrow 1-0 loss to West Ham United. Veteran striker Christopher Wood entered the fray late for Nottingham Forest in their Premier League defeat to Arsenal on 18 October.
Defender Alexander Paulsen played the full 90 minutes for Motherwell, who lost 3-2 to Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. In Norway, midfielder Joe Bell started for Viking in their 3-2 Eliteserien victory over Fredrikstad, picking up a yellow card before being substituted at half-time.
Callum McCowatt was involved in European competition, playing the full match for Danish side Aarhus in their 1-0 UEFA Europa Conference League loss to Belgian club Gent on 15 October.
Building towards India
These club minutes are vital for national team preparation. New Zealand's recent form shows one win, two draws and one loss from their last four matches. The team's full fixtures schedule shows the next challenge is a home match against India in November.
