A total of 13 players from Tottenham Hotspur are expected to be away at the World Cup in Qatar.
This season poses unique challenges to most big clubs, with the World Cup set to take place in the middle of the season.
The tournament in Qatar gets underway on November 20, with the final set to be played on 18 December.
Based on the most recent squads picked up by various international bosses during the international break, Antonio Conte can be expected to be without 11 players, excluding the ones on loan, during that period.
Here are all the Tottenham stars who are expected to travel to Qatar (‘*’ signifies players out on loan):
England: Harry Kane, Eric Dier
France: Hugo Lloris
Denmark: Pierre-Emile Hojbjrg
South Korea: Son Heung-min
Brazil: Richarlison
Croatia: Ivan Perisic
Argentina: Cristian Romero, Giovani Lo Celso*
Senegal: Pape Matar Sarr
Urugway: Rodrigo Bentancur
Wales: Ben Davies, Joe Rodon*
Spurs Web Opinion
The fact that Colombia and Sweden have not qualified for the tournament is a positive for Spurs as it means that Kulusevski and Sanchez will not be travelling to Qatar.
The one month that the players will have at Hotspur Way with Conte and his coaching staff could benefit the likes of Bissouma and Spence, and I expect to see a lot more of them in the second half of the season.
