Nikola Milenkovic played the full 90 minutes as Serbia drew 0-0 with Denmark.
The international stars will now start to return to Nottingham Forest as they gear up for an all-important clash with Arsenal at the weekend.
Nuno Espirito Santo will be pleased to get his star man Nikola Milenkovic back in one piece, as he’s played a vital part alongside Murillo so far this season.
Alan Shearer named Milenkovic in his Premier League Team of the Season so far, alongside the likes of Chris Wood and Matz Sels.
The upcoming period for the Reds will really test how serious we are about achieving European qualification, with Manchester United, Manchester City and Aston Villa all coming up.
One player who will be returning to the City Ground full of confidence is Milenkovic after his successful couple of run-outs for Serbia.

How Nikola Milenkovic performed for Serbia against Denmark
Nikola Milenkovic put in another solid display.
He made one clearance, one interception, three tackles, won six out of 14 duels, lost possession seven times, committed four fouls, was fouled once, had 68 touches, a passing accuracy percentage of 92%, made then out of his 11 long balls and failed his only dribble (as per WhoScored).
This follows on from an equally good performance against Switzerland in the first game, where he made an impressive six clearances and had a passing accuracy percentage of 96.
How did Morgan Gibbs-White perform on international duty?
Morgan Gibbs-White only appeared for 11 minutes in England’s first game of the international break against Greece, which saw him provide an assist for Curtis Jones’ goal.
The national media gave Gibbs-White some respectable ratings after his little cameo, but it wasn’t to be as he was an unused sub against the Republic of Ireland.
He had just six touches, made one key pass and lost both his duels.
England fans weren’t happy with the fact that Gibbs-White wasn’t used in the second match, and will no doubt be eager to see him appear more under Thomas Tuchel.
It’s a difficult situation for Gibbs-White and England, as the attacking midfield role is already jam-packed with talent.
