Tottenham have already organised their pre-season training games with players set to return to Hotspur Way very soon.
Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs are merely a matter of weeks away from re-entering our lives with a trip to Hearts awaiting Tottenham on the 17th of July, and a trip across London to play QPR following only three days after. (FotMob)
Spurs players will have plenty of chances to impress Postecoglou before the league season is underway again with the headline pre-season event being the squad’s tour to Asia where they will partake in a tournament in Japan, as well as facing Vissel Kobe four days before at the Japan National Stadium.
Tottenham confirmed on the 5th of June that the squad would be partaking in the ‘Coupang Play Season’ which will see Spurs take on ‘Team K League’ on the 31st of July, then meeting all-time club top goal scorer, Harry Kane, and Bayern Munich on the 3rd of August.
Interestingly, Spurs will take on Bayern only a week later, this time in England at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a game believed to be arranged as part of Spurs’ deal to sell the England captain. (FCBinside)
Despite the upcoming friendlies not all of the Tottenham first-team squad will be returning to Hotspur Way on the date that has been reported due to ongoing international tournaments.
Football.London has revealed that members of the first team are expected to ‘start filtering back to the training ground for work from Saturday, July 6’.
The report continues by explaining some players ‘may be back slightly later’ due to the ongoing Copa America and EUROs tournaments, with return dates likely to be affected by how far the player goes in the competition.
The players who are expected to be returning ‘much later’ to pre-season are Vicario, Van De Ven, Dragusin, Hojbjerg, Romero, Lo Celso and Bentancur.
The smaller-than-usual international group of players means that Postecoglou ‘look set to have 29 players’ available for his pre-season preparations right from the start.
Spurs Web Opinion
With the season being Postecoglou’s second in charge, as well as considering Spurs’ shaky end to the season, it can only be a positive that the Australian near enough has the maximum time possible to start working with his squad ahead of the 24/25 season.
The early July start date should also allow Postecoglou to further asses his squad with plenty of time remaining in the summer transfer window, allowing Ange to conclude which players he definitely wants to see exit the club.
He will perhaps have a closer look at the academy sides that have enjoyed success recently and determine whether or not some of them are ready for the first-team leap.
