I know the international break divides opinion with club supporters.

The majority hate it as it means no club football for a couple of weeks and there is the risk of players coming back injured or overweight after not doing as much training as they normally would do when they are at home with their clubs.

There are positives for some players going away. Take Grant Hanley, who hasn’t started a Championship game since the opening weekend away at Oxford. He’s played two full 90 minutes plus in the last week against some bang average forwards in Robert Lewandowski and Christiano Ronaldo!

Yes, they both scored against big Grant but he’ll benefit from the minutes he gained in both games which benefits Norwich and hopefully he managed to swap shirts with at least one of those superstars, if not both.

I’ve known defenders who’ve not left the side of certain world class strikers for the last 10 minutes of games just to make sure when that final whistle goes they are within touching distance of them to get first dibs on that superstar's shirt!

As I said at the beginning there’s always a risk when players go away with their countries that they might come back with an injury. Sadly, that's exactly what's happened with Mr Consistency Kenny McLean. He limped off in Portugal after 74 minutes with what looks like a muscle injury.

Hopefully it's not a serious one as Kenny’s leadership, energy and quality is very much needed in a Norwich shirt.

The ball he put in for Scott McTominay to head Scotland in front the other night was a thing of beauty. You hear people say it was on a plate at times, well Kenny’s left footed cross was on a plate for McTominay and it had a knife and fork with it - it was that good.

I thought Angus was excellent in Lisbon making a string of outstanding saves which frustrated Ronaldo more than once, sadly he would get the last laugh. Sadly, for Angus, for all the top saves he made people will only mention the first goal Portugal scored through Bruno Fernandes.

It was reminiscent of the goal Angus conceded in Scotland’s first game at the Euros against Germany when Florian Wirtz fired in from similar distance to open the scoring.

Angus doesn’t need me to tell him he should have kept both out. I’m sure his old man would have done that, after all he knew a thing or two about goalkeeping!

Sadly, for Angus and Scotland, it's now one win in their last 14 with nine losses in those 14 games after that man Ronaldo scored Portugal’s winner on the night and his 901st career goal.

So its the long journey to the swansea.com stadium tomorrow in what looks like a tricky fixture for City. Swansea have one point fewer than Norwich but their four points have come from their two home games.

I saw Luke Williams’s side at The Riverside in their opening game, they were poor first half but very good in the second, they just couldn’t score.

I also saw them last time round at The Hawthorns against a WBA side who’ve made a great start to the season. Once again they were very poor in the opening 45 minutes and went in at the break losing 1-0.

To be fair it should have been 4-0 and game over. To their credit they produced their best 45 minutes of football in the second half, but once again couldn’t find that elusive goal.

They scored three in their home game against Preston but are struggling to find the back of the net consistently. The Swans fans hope that in Slovakian international Zan Vipotnik they’ve found the new Joel Piroe. Ronald, their 23-year-old old Brazilian is rapid and on his day can be a match winner.

Their new South Korean Eom Ji-Sung has shown signs of good potential but not enough to win me over yet. One thing is for sure Goncalo Franco who they acquired in the summer from Moreirense will definitely pick up a yellow card - he loves a late challenge!

Sadly, I won't be at the game tomorrow as I’m off to Pride Park for Derby v Cardiff, but safe journey to all the Norwich supporters making that long old journey to South West Wales, at least you don’t have to pay to get over the Severn Bridge these days!
