It's been a rare break for Manchester City as they prepare for their final Premier League title push with the dreams of an unprecedented quadruple still very much alive.
Pep Guardiola has built something very special since he took over at the Etihad and it could culminate in one of the greatest achievements in the history of the sport this season.
With only months remaining of the current campaign City players have been enjoying their one final rest before the action intensifies, and it has been an international break which will have provided plenty of time to relax.
City are back in action when they travel to face Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime and several senior players should go into the game refreshed having sat out of their countries' fixtures either through injury or non-selection.
Here is a look at what those players have been up to over the past couple of weeks.
