This year is a busy one in the world of international football, with the European Championship and Copa America scheduled for the summer.
Africa and Asia are also holding the latest editions of their respective continental competitions in 2024 - but unfortunately for Premier League clubs, both tournaments are taking place in the middle of the season.
The Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in Ivory Coast on January 13, with the final set for February 11.
The Asian Cup, which is being hosted by Qatar, will take place between January 12 and February 10.
Dozens of Premier League players are about to jet off to the tournaments, much to the annoyance of managers up and down the division.
