Ange Postecoglou says losing his Asian and African stars to mid-season tournaments is "a small price to pay" for having them at Tottenham, and insists he would never rule out signing a player on nationality.
Spurs will be without captain and talisman Heung-min Son and midfielders Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr for up to six weeks, starting with Friday's FA Cup third-round tie at home to Burnley.
