As the 2023 MLS Cup playoffs are currently on pause, many players around the league have departed their clubs to link up with their national teams for the November international fixtures.
Yes, it’s that time again. Just as the playoffs were starting to get interesting, we’ve been hit with another international break. But thankfully, this is the last one of 2023 and therefore the last one for the current MLS season.
