Few teams escape the international break without some kind of fitness issue, which can often lead to a sense of frustration as the Premier League prepares to resume this weekend.
And it's been no different this time around, particularly after the game's bosses decided on an international break which has crammed four fixtures in three weeks.
Alex Scott's injury whilst away with England has again ignited the club vs country row as teams lay the blame for their player's welfare with the national sides.
We've seen a spate of players withdrawing from international duty, Arsenal infamously doing so previously, as clubs look to protect their players. Cole Palmer's decision to miss this set of England games served as a major frustration to Thomas Tuchel.
