Teams like City, Manchester United, West Ham and Tottenham will lose important players after the national team activity.

The Premier League has also suffered from the third international break in the last three months. Players like Erling Haaland, Heung-min Son, André Onana, Jarred Bowen and Michail Antonio have been injured in recent days, aggravating the problems between clubs and national teams.

Jarrod Bowen was dropped from the England squad this Sunday due to a knee problem that has not been detailed, while Michail Antonio limped away from his national team's match, Jamaica, with a hamstring injury. Without their two best forwards, the Hammers will have to face Burnley this weekend.

Pep Guardiola may also have a problem at the top depending on what happens to Erling Haaland. The Norwegian injured his ankle in the victory against the Faroe Islands and did not participate this Sunday against Scotland. His loss would be very hard for Manchester City ahead of the match against Liverpool this Saturday, as would Ederson's loss, who injured his foot in the last league game and did not travel with Brazil.

Manchester United, who are not doing well either in England or in Europe, had to regret the losses of Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund before the break began, and later also worry about Marcus Rashford, who left before time of the victory against Malta due to a blow, and André Onana, who was injured against Mauritania and will not participate in the duel against Libya this Tuesday.

Everyone on the same stage

Heung-min Son is one of those who seems to have avoided a major problem. Tottenham Hotspur's South Korean attacker needed medical attention on his ankle in the win over Singapore at the weekend, but he should be ready to play against China this Tuesday. Then there are the cases of Kieran Trippier and Diogo Dalot, who left the England and Portugal concentrations due to personal issues and in principle are not experiencing any physical discomfort.
