The international break has arrived at an inconvenient moment for Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi, according to BBC Sport columnist Tony Pulis.

Pulis explains that De Zerbi needs sustained time with his players on the training ground to build a settled, cohesive team, and that the pause in domestic football disrupts that process just as he is getting started.

The break takes players away for international duty, limiting the contact time a new manager has with his squad during a period widely seen as important for embedding tactical ideas.

Further specifics on which factors Pulis identifies as most significant for De Zerbi's rebuilding effort were not detailed beyond the general point about lost training time.
