The pause could be a challenge as the team seek to stay competitive and avoid losing rhythm. Club executives and the coaching staff are assessing the best approach to the coming weeks.

The priority is to keep the squad ready for the next set of challenges, maintaining conditioning and cohesion throughout the hiatus.
