Pep Guardiola almost got a perfect international break, but then John Stones pulled up for England vs Germany and looks set for a spell on the sidelines.
Guardiola always prioritises the fitness of his Manchester City players when they go away on international duty, accepting that they will be played more than he'd like and just hoping they all come back injury free.

Performance-wise, Guardiola will have also been happy to see some fringe players get some much-needed minutes for their countries, with others getting some useful rests. We've looked at how the City squad have performed and picked out some winners and losers from the last 10 days.
