According to a report from Manchester Evening News, Manchester City manager Maresca will not take a vacation during the international break, but his players are free to do so.

Unlike his predecessor, Maresca will not travel to enjoy the sun during the international break. The Manchester City manager may want to follow Guardiola's approach, but with his children still in school, his rest time over the coming weeks will be spent locally, coordinated around school drop-off schedules.

However, Maresca will not require players not on international duty to undergo additional training. As has been the custom over the past decade, these stars are free to arrange their rest time as long as they return to training before the match against Liverpool and maintain the expected fitness level.

At Manchester City, there are usually not many players in the squad without international commitments. Foden and Lewis were not called up for England, Nunes surprisingly was not selected for Portugal's squad, Akanji has not received a senior call-up for Brazil, and Doku was ruled out of Belgium's plans due to a recent injury.

All the players mentioned above will have two weeks off and are free to plan their time, with the club confident they can balance rest with maintaining fitness. For some players, particularly Doku, who is recovering from injury, the coming week may involve recovery and rehabilitation at City Football Academy, but no team training sessions will be scheduled.

Maresca will resume training with these players one week before the match against Liverpool, while those on international duty will return to Manchester according to their respective schedules. All players are expected to report on Thursday to prepare for the away match on Sunday at Anfield.
