Lack of Pritchard and Bentaleb is a surprise considering they've played in friendlies so far (Nabil assisted Pritchard in our first game didn't he?).

It could be rehab work of course but neither seems to have been in favour for a fair while now.

Potential team of:

Vorm
Trippier Carter-Vickers Wimmer Walker-Peters
Wanyama Mason
Lamela Eriksen Son
Janssen

In a way, it's good that it's such a depleted squad. No Kane and Alli means that Son and Janssen, probably the main back ups to our attack, get to find a wavelength with our two main creatives in Lamela and Eriksen. Likewise, we know that Dembele and Dier are fine in our system, so Mason and Wanyama getting time is very useful. Also, barring Davies for KWP that's a likely second string defence so testing them against high class opposition strikers will be great.​

Can't see our sponsors being too happy with that squad of players but fuck em, if Poch and the fitness gurus say they are better off staying at home then that's what'll happen.

It's illegal under employment law not to give players statutory annual leave (28 days pa). Lloris was still playing at the Euros just 12 days ago.

Maybe njie, bentaleb, and pritch (and possibly ward) are on an individual training program for intensive squad position/role/system (i.e. tactics) work, together with the obligatory pre-season fitness stuff.

Clutching I know, but it's going to help me sleep at night.
Jerking off helps too, you know

Lol you do realise it's been more than 28 days since the season finished? it was his choice to play for France, it's got nothing to do with his Spurs contract

Bentaleb picked up a knock against Rotherham didn't he? Atleast i have read that on here, but not seen anything official.

Ward, Pritch, Fazio, Clinton all seems like are leaving since they are not in the squad.

It's gotta be more than just a knock to completely omit him from the squad going to Australia.

Bentaleb started, but not sure whether he finished. The line-up was:

--------------Vorm
Trippier--Ball--Wimmer--Amos
---Wanyama---Bentaleb
--Son-----Mason----Chadli
-------------Janssen
