Gareth Bale has welcomed a change of scenery during the international break amid Tottenham's recent slump in form.
The Wales star played in both the north London derby defeat at Arsenal and the humiliating Europa League exit at the hands of Dinamo Zagreb four days later.
Spurs bounced back at the weekend with a 2-0 victory at Aston Villa to go three points behind Chelsea in fourth and will face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final next month.
But the club are now reliant on a strong end to the season in the Premier League to secure Champions League football, with under-fire boss Jose Mourinho likely to face an uncertain future if his side do not make the top four.
