After a largely positive weekend for West Ham United's national-team contingent, this week sees another round of international fixtures take centre stage.
England
After helping England to a 5-1 win against Kazakhstan, Matthew Upson should retain his starting berth in place of the injured John Terry as the Three Lions travel to Belarus on Wednesday. Upson put in a solid display in the Wembley win. Robert Green, who was beaten to the bench by Scott Carson, will not travel to Minsk because of a sore knee. England sit top of qualifying Group 6 having won three from three.

Wales
James Collins and Craig Bellamy will both be hoping to play in Wales' crucial Group 4 qualifier in Germany after playing in the 2-1 win over Liechtenstein on Saturday.
Bellamy started and was involved throughout the 81 minutes he was on the pitch. Collins came on as a substitute to replace the Wales captain - his first senior appearance since December - and was delighted to be back playing again after overcoming a serious knee injury. He said: "It's not a gamble to play me on Wednesday. I've been training at West Ham now for two months and played a few reserve games.
"I had the operation and pretty much three weeks after that I was working. It's paid off because I'm slimmer, fitter and stronger than ever. If I'm not ready to play now I'll never be. It's a tough game for us on Wednesday but hopefully if I do play I'll see how I come through."

Australia
Lucas Neill is with the Australia squad preparing for the visit of Qatar. The Socceroos have a 100 per cent record after one game and will look to move up from third in the Asian qualifying group after the Brisbane match.
Australia captain Neill thinks he is going into the match in good shape. "My form is getting better and better this season. I am happy with the way things are going," he said. "I definitely feel more like my old self. This year I feel strong. Last season I did not have a proper pre-season - it was stop-start. I'd play and two days later I was still only 90-95 per cent.
"The games come thick and fast in England, as you know and I just wasn't recovering well enough. This time I had the chance to have a good six weeks with no football then got in to a six week pre-season which was fantastic. It gave me a good base for fitness, something to work on for the whole season."
Switzerland
Valon Behrami will be looking to help Switzerland build on their 2-1 win over Latvia at the weekend as they face a must-win game against Greece in Athens. He played the full 90 minutes in St Gallen and will again hope to start in a midfield role. Switzerland sit third in Group 2 with four points from three matches - having suffered a shock 2-1 defeat by Luxembourg last month.
