Swansea City boss Garry Monk has welcomed the timing of international week.
Monk's men are now having three days off before getting back to work ahead of their next game - at home to West Brom on March 15 - and the player-manager feels the break has come at an ideal time.
"The players need it," the 34-year-old said. "But I think they're at a level now where they can have the few days' rest that we're going to give them and then be ready to work and all focus onto West Brom."
