Normally, I dread the international breaks. We seem to have 500 of them during the course of a season and they interrupt the flow of football that people (that is to say, I) care about. However, quite possibly for the first time ever, I am relieved to see an international break arrive.
We have a thin squad carrying a number of injuries, making an already stretched playing squad worryingly short on cover.
