Premier League stars including Cesc Fabregas and Juan Mata take chance to jet off during international break

Ever wonder what happens to a footballer during an international break when they aren't called up by their national team?

No, the vast majority of them also jet off to warmer climes to take advantage of the short period of time they have off.
