The Premier League is currently on a 15-day non-traditional international break as nations around the world catch-up on World Cup qualifiers that were postponed due to COVID-19.
This is the fourth break of the season - this one forming part of the pre-arranged winter break for Premier League clubs - meaning five pauses will be held during the 2021/22 season, the second time this has happened after the same instance occurred in the 2019/20 season.
Players from South America, North America and Asia have jetted off to represent their countries as they push for qualification for December’s Qatar World Cup.
