Brighton midfielder and Cheltenham Town loanee Cam Peupion on target as Australia secure AFC Under-23 Asian Cup qualification

Cheltenham Town’s Elliot Bonds helped Guyana claim back-to-back victories in Concacaf Nations League B during the latest international break.

The midfielder started both games as the Golden Jaguars were 5-1 winners away to Antigua and Barbuda before claiming a 3-2 home success over Bahamas. Former Robins loanee Sam Cox is now Guyana’s assistant coach.

Meanwhile, recent loan arrival from Brighton Cam Peupion scored a free-kick in Australia Under-23s’ 1-1 draw with Tajikistan at the Republican Central Stadium.

The result for Tony Vidmar’s team secured qualification for the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup in Qatar on goal difference.

Loan defender from Bournemouth Owen Bevan was named on the bench for Wales Under-21s’ 3-2 Euros qualification victory in Lithuania.

Nottingham Forest midfielder Oli Hammond, who has just recovered from injury, was included in the wider squad but did not feature in the matchday 20.

Cheltenham’s first choice goalkeeper Luke Southwood was an unused substitute for Northern Ireland’s 1-0 defeat in Kazakhstan, three days after a 4-2 defeat in Slovenia.

Wade Elliott’s Robins side were without a match last weekend due to their five international representatives, but they return to action with a visit to Exeter City in League One on Saturday, before travelling to Peterborough United next Tuesday.
