Lassina Diabate is expected to be on African Nations qualifying duty, striker Yakubu Ayegbeni could be recalled to the Nigerian squad , Matt Taylor looks certain to be in the England Under-21 side and Vincent Pericard could play for France Under-21s.
It only takes three call-ups for the match to be put back and so it looks likely that the Burnley fixture at Fratton Park on March 29th will be postponed.
