This time around, it's a bumper extended international break, as a change to the FIFA calendar has combined the September and October windows into one two-week period, starting this season.

That means two consecutive weekends without domestic football, instead featuring up to four matches for each national team, running between 21 September and 6 October.

You can see a full breakdown of the Chelsea players called up by their countries so far and the games they will be hoping to feature in below, which will be updated as more nations confirm their squad. All kick-offs and dates are for UK time.
