NYCFC got through the international break unscathed.
Kwame Awuah, Maxime Chanot, Yangel Herrera, Ronald Matarrita, Alex Ring and Rodney Wallace all represented their nations over the last two weeks.
All six players have returned to their clubs with no ill effects and are in contention to face San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday afternoon.
Mikey Lopez is rated as questionable following his ankle surgery in the offseason and is making good progress on a return, taking a full part in training with the rest of the squad this week.
For San Jose, Quincy Amarikwa, Marvell Wynne and Marc Pelosi are all definitely out of the game.
