So, they can dream of a Scudetto battle when they return.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it would be a much different picture had they won against Parma and Lazio in recent weeks. However, they are still in the mix, and they will be fired straight back into business with a trip to Naples awaiting them.<\/p>\n<p>Given the stakes of this international break for some, it could be a chance for a mental lockdown ahead of the World Cup, whilst others may be able to rest a little.<\/p>\n<p>The internationals<\/p>\n<p>Below are the 13 players that have been summoned by their
