Internationals: Where Chelsea's players will be during the November international break
Chelsea's players will split up this week for the November international break, with many of the squad receiving call-ups to represent their countries.
Enzo Maresca's side head into the international period following a 1-1 draw against Arsenal in the Premier League. The point saw Chelsea climb up the table into third place, ahead of the Gunners on goal difference.

A remarkable statistic emerged after the London derby draw: 'Chelsea will end a day in the top three places of the Premier League table for the first time since the final day of the 2021-22 season'.
