Hendry, who missed Scotland's first victories due to injury, has a decent chance of starting in Saturday's Euro 2024 qualifier in Oslo. Prior to this month's doubleheader, Grant Hanley and Scott McKenna are unable to participate due to injury.
Haaland will be determined to add to his 53 goals for club and country this season after helping Manchester City win the treble last weekend. He also missed the March qualifiers due to injury.
With the Champions League, Haaland
Hendry, who earlier in the season spent time on loan at Serie A team Cremonese, said: "Those games were crucial for me to develop that rhythm, both personally and for my upcoming entry into the international setup at Club Brugge.
They couldn't have arrived for Scotland at a better moment. Although my season was rather up-and-down, I made sure to work hard at Club Brugge to secure those games and minutes, and it has paid off going into these contests.
"I prefer to step beyond of my comfort zone, so I traveled to Italy to play. The opportunity presented itself; most likely, it was just the wrong club at the wrong moment, but
But facing excellent scorers like Mbappe will give me invaluable experience coming into these kinds of matches.
"I've been fortunate enough to play quite a few games at that level already, and the more games you play at that level, the more confidence it gives you.
"I am aware of my playing abilities at that level, and facing these players excite me much. Every member of the squad is anticipating it.
After playing Benfica in the Champions League knockout stages in February, Hendry suffered a knee injury and missed three months of the season. However, he returned to the team for the final three games of the year.
We focused on ourselves for the first two games, in my opinion. We'll be in good shape if we maintain our attention on ourselves.
The Club Brugge defender helped his team to a 1-1 tie against a forward line that included Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappe Manchester City and Paris St. Germain in the Champions League last season.
"Not just big names, every game I'm going into, I will have a quick look at the strikers I'm coming up against, what their movements etc. might be," he stated.
Like Haaland, I will analyze every player to determine their style of play and devise the best strategy for dealing with them.
