"Ronaldo is a Gulfstream Jet celebrity who feels a sense of entitlement bordering on megalomania," emails Gary Stover. "Yet, he has a saving grace. He actually wants to play for his country. John Terry said that he played with varying degrees of injury in all but about five of his 717 appearances in all competitions. Now it seems that some players are ready to find excuses not to play for their countries."

Not sure we should be holding up John Terry as the good guy, but go off, Gary.

(4-1-2-3): Urbig, Mittelstädt, Thiaw, Anton, Treu, Pavlovic, Wirtz, Bischof, Scherhant, Woltemade, Gnabry.
Jeltsch, Engelhardt, El Mala, Burkardt, Dahmen, Baur, Karl, Baku, Conte, Atubolu, Raum, Janelt.

(4-4-2): Petrovic, Babic, Gudelj, Erakovic, Nedeljkovic, Kostic, Dzodic, Maksimovic, Zivkovic, Tadic, Jović.
Pavlovic, Mimovic, A Stankovic, Joeljic, F Stankovic, Simic, Terzic, Cvetkovic, Kostov, Samardzic, Lukic, Milinkovic-Savic.

Pressure is on for Klopp, who if Germany fail to win tonight, would become the first manager of the national team to go winless in his first three matches. Jonas Urbig and Derry Scherhant make their debuts, Serge Gnabry returns after his injury and captains the team for the first time.

(5-4-1): Ward, Dasilva, Thomas, Davies, Cabango, Williams, Cullen, Ampadu, James, James, Koumas.
Cornell, Mepham, Ashford, Burns, Johnson, Moore, Roberts, Norrington-Davies, Harris, King, Sheehan, J Colwill.

(4-3-3): Nyland, Møller Wolfe, Heggem, Ajer, Ryerson, Aursnes, Berge, Ødegaard, Schjelderup, Haaland, Bobb.
Bjortuft, Ostigard, Berg, Strand Larsen, Tangvik, Selvik, Blomberg, Pedersen, Sjovold, Aasgaard, Nusa, Botheim.

Ødegaard is fit, and starts. Brennan Johnson only on the bench for Wales.

(4-2-3-1): Hermansen, Maehle, Andersen, Provstgaard, Nissen Kristensen, Højbjerg, Hjulmand, Daramy, Damsgaard, Daghim, Højlund.
Jungdal, Hogsberg, Nelsson, Froholdt, Isaksen, Jorgensen, Skov Olsen, Bidstrup, Nartey, Gaaei, Hogh, Jorgensen.

(4-3-3): Costa; Mendes, Veiga, Rúben Dias, Cancelo; Vitinha, Neves, Fernandes; Leão, Ramos, Neto.
Dalot, Araujo, Tavares, Palhinha, Bernardo Silva, Inacio, Trincao, Fabio Silva, Soares.

With Ronaldo quitting the squad, Ruben Dias is installed as captain and Leão has taken the No 7 shirt!

More pre-match reading: Craig Bellamy said he didn't recognise his Wales side in their poor defeat to Denmark. Ståle Solbakken, Norway's head coach for the past six years, said "everything's fine" with Haaland, who has scored three goals in his past two matches, and played down the idea that the City verdict has been a distraction.

Ødegaard is a doubt for the Wales game but we'll have confirmed line-ups for tonight's matches shortly.

Really enjoyed this piece by Porto-based Miguel Dantas, who sheds some light on how Portuguese media and fans are reacting to Ronaldo walking out on Jorge Jesus' squad.

Ronaldo's fans are firmly behind him, defending him fiercely on social media. Much of the general public, though, feels the player has turned his back on the national team. That was the message splashed in big letters across the front page of O Jogo, one of Portugal's leading sports newspapers.

Across the Portuguese media, most newspapers and commentators have sided with the view that Ronaldo behaved selfishly. There are, however, some voices – particularly in newspapers and television outlets in which Ronaldo is a shareholder – who have turned their criticism towards Jesus, accusing him of ingratitude and of indefensibly going back on his word.

Quite the maelstrom of international football tonight, with off-pitch drama circling many of the players involved (and one who is not).

You have to feel for new Portugal manager Jorge Jesus, a 72-year-old who knows more than most that time waits for no man, but has apparently had a hard time explaining to Cristiano Ronaldo that at the age of 41 and woefully out of form, he cannot expect to start every single game for one of the best international teams in the world.

Jesus has – at least publicly – been respectful to Ronaldo, starting him in the win over Wales and "resting" the veteran in the impressive 2-1 victory over Norway – Ronnie's replacement, Gonçalo Ramos, scored the winner for Portugal. If that justified Jesus' decision in many people's eyes, it certainly didn't go down with Ronaldo, who has now left the Portugal camp in a huff private jet (and which presumably suits Jesus just fine).

Now former Portugal manager Roberto Martínez made the mistake of staying blindly loyal to Ronaldo, keeping his captain on the pitch for the full 90 minutes in all but one of the five matches at the World Cup, and paid the price in losing his job to Jesus. Save for a couple of goals over World Cup minnows Uzbekistan – Ronaldo has only managed one goal (a penalty) and received one red card in the eight games since last November. Even if he was involved tonight against a very strong Denmark team, it is likely he would not get any closer to his 1,000 goal target. However, if Portugal lose to the Danes, the noise clamouring for Ronaldo's return will be deafening.

Elsewhere, as the talisman of beleaguered Manchester City, all eyes will be on Erling Haaland to see if his club's crisis is affecting his football. Wales v Norway is an intriguing game for a number of reasons, but one that Craig Bellamy could really do with winning – Wales are without a victory in nearly a year.

Jürgen Klopp's tenure as Germany manager has gotten off to a rocky-ish start with a draw and Sunday's home loss to Greece. The former Liverpool boss will hope for better against Serbia tonight but regrettably, it's off-field issues that have dominated the headlines. Honestly, what is wrong with people?

Sandwiched between two controversial games against Israel, the Republic of Ireland face Austria in Dublin this evening. The 3-0 win over Israel last Sunday, went ahead after a majority of their squad voted to play on the eve of the away fixture in Hungary. Media reports indicated that the squad was fractured after the meeting and vote, and that goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu had been insulted by teammates over his decision to withdraw "as a person or principle". The goalkeeper is available for tonight, but will not take part on Sunday in the rematch with Israel, which the Football Association ‌of Ireland has moved to Serbia behind closed doors.

So, that's the background – some of it important, some of it less so – to at least some of tonight's games. Let's see if we can enjoy the footy. Seven games in total. I'll do my best to keep abreast of all of them, but only have two eyes and two hands to type with.

Wales v Norway
Denmark v Portugal
Germany v Serbia
Republic of Ireland v Austria
Greece v Netherlands
Israel v Kosovo
Malta v Gibraltar

Kick-offs: 7.45pm BST
