England manager Gareth Southgate has warned Manchester United pair Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho they have "a lot to do" to get into England's World Cup squad.
The Three Lions are five months away from heading to Qatar, with September's two Nations League fixtures all that remain after facing Hungary on Tuesday.
Harry Maguire is the only United player involved in the England set-up this month.
Asked if United players may be fresher without the Champions League to contend with next season, the England boss said: "We've only got one with us. They've got a lot to do to get back in the squad.
"Well, look, I think the lower the load then of course the less likely for injuries and the hope that players can be that little bit sharper but there's no way of knowing.
"Some players are at their best when they're in a rhythm of playing and you talk to some of our lads now and they want to play every game because that's how they feel they get to their best level.
"Others need the breaks, they need longer recovery between the matches to be at their best."
