Abram will join Peru for two World Cup qualifiers at Bolivia on Nov. 16 and at home versus Venezuela on Nov. 21. The defender has 39 caps for Peru at the international level, including 15 matches in World Cup qualification and eight Copa America appearances, making his senior national team debut in a friendly against Trinidad and Tobago on May 24, 2016.

Almada was called-up to Argentina's U-23 side by manager Javier Mascherano for a pair of matches against Japan on Nov. 18 and 21. The 22-year-old has four appearances with Argentina's senior national team, making his debut against Honduras in September of 2022, and three appearances with Argentina's U-23s. He became the first active MLS player to win the FIFA World Cup in Qatar where he made one appearance, entering as a substitute against Poland in the group stage.

Giakoumakis joins Greece for a friendly against New Zealand on Nov. 17 and its final UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match at home against France on Nov. 21. The 28-year-old forward has represented Greece at both the U-21 and senior level. He's made 19 appearances with the senior team and scored three goals for his country.

Robinson was the only MLS player called-up to the USMNT this window for two Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal legs against Trinidad and Tobago on Nov. 16 and Nov. 20.
