“We have two weeks off so it’s a good time for us to recover some players who are playing more,” Carvalhal said.
“We can give more tempo to the guys who haven’t played as much.
“We will need all the players next month as we play seven games.

Carvalhal insists it will be equally as important to bring up to speed those players who have not featured many times as it will to ensure regulars have ample time to rest.
He said: “We will recover players over the international break and give more tempo to the guys who haven’t played as much.
“The players who have played a lot will have the opportunity to recover now.

“They deserve to play but we can’t put 23 players in to play at the same. I trust in all of them.”
