Championship football will take a back seat for the next three weeks due to international football, with the Blues now not in action until October 11 when they face Southampton in the latest south-coast derby.

Although it still remains very early days in the new season, Mousinho is looking for improvements after the break and will be boosted by the returns of key figures after the stoppage.
