The match at Turf Moor has been brought forward to be played on Friday, March 31 after being selected for TV broadcast.
It means that some players will be flying back to the UK just a few days before the fixture.
"It's very difficult during these breaks to work on the team for the next game, especially as we are playing Burnley on the Friday night,” said Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray. “Three or four of them won't be back until Wednesday afternoon and so we'll have a day to work as a team, and some of these players will have had a couple of games abroad.
Here are the players from both sides who will be away on international duty and their upcoming fixtures:
