Oxford United postpone two matches in international break

The away match against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday, September 26, and the home clash with Stockport County on Saturday, October 3, will be rescheduled.

This season, the September and October international breaks have been combined into a 16-day period, with countries playing four matches instead of the usual two.

As a result, Oxford United are expected to have at least four players selected for international duty.

This includes Mark Harris, who is a regular in the Wales squad and has already scored three goals in four matches this season.

The Welsh team is set to play Portugal and Denmark away before hosting Norway and playing Denmark a second time.

Brodie Spencer, Ciaron Brown, and Jamie McDonnell are expected to be included in the Northern Ireland squad.

They are set to face Georgia and Hungary, then Ukraine and Georgia again.

There is also a potential call-up for Aidomo Emakhu, who made his senior debut for the Republic of Ireland in May.

The winger is out injured for a “couple of weeks” at the moment, however, so may not be back fit in time for a potential set of international games.

Oxford United have assured fans that any tickets purchased for the original match dates will still be valid for the rearranged fixtures.

The club will announce the new dates for these games in due course.

These postponements are part of the first international break of the season, with one more scheduled for November.
