Firstly, 27-year-old Allarakhia was picked for Tanzania’s two international matches which included a crucial World Cup Qualifier last Wednesday.
With Zambia the opponents, Taz was introduced at half-time and in a tight encounter it would be the Zambians to take the three points with a goal 15 minutes from time. This unfortunately, along with other results, ended the Taifa Stars’ hopes of making the Playoffs in Group E.
On Tuesday evening, the second game saw our wing-back start in a friendly with Iran, played in Dubai.
Iran secured a 2-0 victory but it would be 84 more minutes on the international stage for Allarakhia.
As for Rochdale’s number one, England Under-19s took Whatmuff to the camp in Spain, where they had two friendlies scheduled in preparation for the 2026 Euro Qualifiers in the November international break.
On Saturday morning, Belgium were the Young Lions’ opponents with Oli given the start in between the sticks and the 17-year-old completed 90 minutes in a commanding 4-1 victory for Will Antwi’s side.
Next up was Wales at the La Quinta Football Centre, with England comprehensively beating their rivals 7-0 on Tuesday.
Blackburn Rovers’ Nicolas Michalski was given the nod in a change of personnel with Whatmuff an unused sub.
