Northern Ireland U21s face Ukraine next Tuesday in their only game of the window.

England U21s host Andorra on Friday and Albania the following Tuesday.

Smith - who has 11 senior caps already - could potentially be part of three matches for Wales as they host the United States in a friendly on November 12 before two home Nations League matches against Republic of Ireland and Finland.
