Arsenal striker Vivianne Miedema says managers should instigate breaks for players, after she was granted a leave of absence in November.
Miedema missed Arsenal's Women's Super League win over Leicester and two friendlies for the Netherlands.
The 26-year-old returned to the matchday squad in Arsenal's 3-2 league loss to Manchester United.
"They [coaches] need to be a bit more aware of it and sometimes probably instigate it," Miedema said.
