George Campbell will get his first taste of a Black Country derby on Sunday - and then head back home to the States for four Pan-American clashes following his recall to Mauricio Pochettino's USA squad.
Campbell will fly out on Monday for international friendlies against Peru in Orlando, Chile in St Louis, Mexico in Arizona and Canada in Minnesota. He won't return to The Hawthorns until Thursday October 8 at the earliest - just two days before another derby against Birmingham.
There's a total of of 10,270 miles between those host American venues and the capital cities of their four opponents, quite a contrast to the 17 miles that separate The Hawthorns from Molineux.
