Mauricio Pochettino will be glad of the international break.
While many supporters will be pining for the Premier League to be back, Pochettino can step back and assess what's going on at Spurs.
The transfer windows are now shut, meaning Pochettino knows which players he has to work with for the rest of the season, or at least until January.
And Spurs confirmed their 22-man squad for the start of the season on Tuesday.
That and the other biggest stories of the past 24 hours are below.
Marcus Edwards theory
He was dubbed the "mini Messi" by manager Mauricio Pochettino.
But the Spurs boss admitted later that that was a mistake.
And now the mini Messi is gone.
One European transfer deadline day, Marcus Edwards left Tottenham on a permanent deal, signing for Portuguese outfit Vitoria.
And the Spurs fans have a theory about the transfer.
Jack Clarke headache
A number of Spurs youngsters will be hoping to force their way into Mauricio Pochettino's plans next summer by excelling during their respective loan spells away from N17.
Seven of the club's players have made the temporary move away from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to pick up some vital experience of playing first-team football week in, week out, including summer signing Jack Clarke.
Making a huge impression in the Championship for Leeds United last campaign, the winger returned to Elland Road in the summer to continue his development before returning to the capital for the 2020/21 season.
But it's not quite going to plan for him.
Read all about him and the other Spurs loanees here.
Unsung hero
Tottenham's start to the season has been indifferent to say the least.
Victory over Aston Villa was followed by a creditable draw with Manchester City.

Then came a disappointing defeat at home to Newcastle, before a good draw against rivals Arsenal, having led 2-0.
In amongst all that there has been a player, derided by many, loved by others.
Here's the unsung hero who can be Mauricio Pochettino's secret weapon this season.
Third kit released
The Tottenham kits for the 2019/20 campaign have gone down reasonably well with the fans.
And now the third kit has been released to the public.

By all accounts it seems as if Spurs have released three kits that have been well received by the supporters this season.
When will the third kit be worn? Find out here.
Premier League squad
Tottenham, as well as all the other Premier League teams, have confirmed their squad for the Premier League.
And, as expected, there are no real surprises.

Mauricio Pochettino trimmed the squad this summer, as well as bringing new players in.
