Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has ordered players to attend training during the international break.
The Austrian and his team agreed players not on international duty could have a week off if they managed to emerge from games against Manchester City, Chelsea and Wolves without losing.
The Saints secured a surprise draw away against the Premier League champions, but followed it up with a 1-0 defeat at home to Wolves and a 3-1 reversal at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The Athletic reports Hasenhuttl expects his players not selected by their national teams to report for training as usual this week.
The report noted that the Saints manager's decision to conduct training this week is not intended to be a punishment for the two consecutive losses the Saints have suffered in the past eight days.
Rather, it stems from the Austrian's desire to ensure his players are fully fit ahead of their home game against Leeds after the international break, on October 16.
