Grimsby Town player Géza Turi has been selected for the Faroe Islands' UEFA Nations League games. The midfielder will link up with his country for a series of matches, which will see him absent for three upcoming fixtures for his club.
Turi will be unavailable for the EFL Trophy game at Notts County, along with League Two matches versus Newport County and Shrewsbury Town. Grimsby Town congratulated the player on his call-up and sent their best wishes for the international period.
International schedule
The Faroe Islands play Kazakhstan, then Moldova, before a home game against Slovakia. They then have another fixture against Kazakhstan. This selection marks further progress in Turi's involvement with the national team. His first senior call-up came for World Cup qualifying matches, where he made his debut versus Croatia. He later netted his first goal for his country in another match against Croatia. His first experience with the national setup was with the under-21 side.
Club form and context
Turi's selection follows positive performances for Grimsby. He found the net in the team's most recent victory against Bristol Rovers. A teammate scored first, with Turi adding another goal before the interval, set up by Charles Vernam. That win contributed to Grimsby's undefeated opening to their league campaign. The team is positioned in the upper part of the standings, having taken a certain number of points from their matches so far, with several wins and draws. Their recent results show a mix of wins and draws.
With Turi on international duty, manager David Artell will need to reconfigure his midfield. The team aims to continue its positive spell, which features a run without defeat. Grimsby's next game is the Trophy match at Meadow Lane, before a league fixture at home to Newport County.
