The international break is back for the month of October, as plenty of MLS sides have sent several players on their way to represent their respective nations in upcoming games.
Inter Miami and Philadelphia Union lead the way with nine and eight players departing for the break, while Orlando City have seen a surge in players called up after their impressive end to the regular season.
