Photo: Academy pair spotted training with the Spurs first team today

Tottenham Hotspur were back on the training pitch at Hotspur Way earlier today to begin their preparations for the weekend.

After the disappointing 1-0 loss to Newcastle United on Sunday, Mauricio Pochettino put his players through their paces which hopefully had a focus on trying to get the ball in the back of the net.

Two of Tottenham’s academy players were once again spotted training with the first team as part of their continued involvement following an impressive pre-season.

Japhet Tanganga and Troy Parrott were both photographed taking part in the session.

Parrott was Tottenham’s ‘nineteenth man’ for the visit of Newcastle on Sunday, with his shirt seen hanging up in the home dressing room before the match.

Whether Pochettino would throw either player in at the deep end by including them in his squad for the match at the Emirates remains to be seen.
