Several clubs have sent players whose nations did not qualify for Qatar for a break. At Manchester City, players are off until 5 December on holiday - they'll keep their fitness topped up, but there will be no official training. This is also a thread at other clubs; Newcastle United has given their players time off, although they will not be completely switched off. Players are given a less intensive regime to work on to keep fitness. The top level of English domestic football will resume on 26 December - but until then, clubs have to adapt in this most unusual of seasons.

Managers have spoken about the need to balance taking advantage of the season break to give players a rest, while ensuring there is no holiday hangovers come 26 December. For some clubs, a holiday for players has been more enforced as they are still finalizing plans for the break. Crystal Palace told BBC Sport a mid-season tour and training dates are still being planned.
This is also the case with Southampton, where the sacking of Ralph Hassenhuttl has thrown their break plans up in the air. New manager Nathan Jones said after the defeat by Liverpool they were still planning in a trip away and some friendlies.
