"The English Football League (EFL) allows clubs to postpone fixtures should they receive a sufficient number of call-ups. At least three of players have to be selected for their country's senior, under-21, under-20 or under-19 sides in order to request a postponement. International age group players only qualify if they have: Started at least 25% of their club's matches Featured in a club's previous five first-team matches"
"If a player is signed by a club in either late August or during the January transfer window and they then get called up, a pro rata basis is used to determine if that player is available. A team is also allowed to request a postponement if both the first and second choice goalkeepers are called up too. Players signed on loan also count."
The EFL permits postponement of League One and League Two fixtures when clubs receive sufficient international call-ups. Clubs can request postponement if at least three players are selected for senior, U21, U20 or U19 national teams. International age-group selections count only if the player started at least 25% of club matches and played in the club's previous five first-team games. Pro rata calculations determine availability for players signed late in August or during January. Both first and second-choice goalkeepers being called up also allows a request. Loan players count. Clubs must release players by the Monday before the international window, and home and away postponement requests must be submitted five and seven days in advance respectively.
