Libby will be fine. He will fly business... it will be nice.
Clubs in top flights are use to players balancing international and club football. You have to be, otherwise these players won't look at you.

Libby & Kirwan both skipped the January FIFA window of friendlies. Maybe Garbett as well?? Part of a deal Hay cut with their Italian clubs. Hay said sometime around that time, that the Italian club directors were the most difficult to deal with.
All Empoli have to say to Cacace - is you travel all the way downunder, and the next 2 Serie A games post the window we won't start you in that LB role, giving his rival the chance of a free run. Not saying they will do it, but you wouldn't put it past them. Club verus country little squabbles are a constant in international football, especially for what clubs see as meaningless friendlies. Empoli won't give a stuff that an actual big AWs game in NZ is rare as hens teeth.
Again not saying it will happen, but something to be mindful of.
