Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini has claimed that the international break has come at a good time for his side.
The Gunners are currently at the top of the Premier League table following Sunday's 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion.
"I think it comes at a really good time because we have played a lot," he told the club's official website.
"Obviously everybody is tired physically and tired mentally because you have to give 200% in every single game.
"For us it is a chance to have players coming back into the group like maybe Theo [Walcott] and Santi [Cazorla]. I hope everyone will be back soon."
Arsenal continue their league campaign on October 19 when they welcome Norwich City to the Emirates Stadium.
