Thirteen Leicester City players have been called up to represent their countries during the international break.
Steve Cooper gets roughly two weeks to assess and fine-tune his tactics, while the players not called up for international duty get a well-deserved break to recover. Leicester got their first Premier League victory of the season last weekend with a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth. There were a few standout performers from the game, but it was clear that more work needed to be done if they wanted to achieve survival.
After the international break, the Foxes will face Southampton and East Midland rivals Nottingham Forest, two winnable games for Leicester. While fans will be eager to watch Leicester play, they will also be able to watch some Foxes represent their nations over the next ten days.
