Tony Pulis column: Managing in an international break - and what to do when your star player does not come home

Medium Credibility Center Neutral Logical Fallacies
Article Summary

As a manager, I used to see international breaks as an opportunity - then they became a problem. In my first few years in the Premier League at Stoke, I would always hope that our fixtures against the top-six clubs would coincide with either their European midweek games or international matches. When that started happening to me, as Stoke progressed and became more established, I found managing the workload of these players when they returned to your club could be extremely difficult.
