Antonio Conte could be set for huge Tottenham training boost as World Cup trio face pivotal game

There will be more twists and turns over the next two days as the World Cup group stage comes to a conclusion. With four of the groups completed and ten teams safely through to the knockout phase, Tottenham so far have six players who will be competing in the final 16.

Hugo Lloris, Eric Dier, Harry Kane, Pape Matar Sarr, Cristian Romero and Richarlison are the players in question, and they could potentially be joined by another three of their Spurs teammates. Ivan Perisic and Croatia's World Cup ambitions will be determined on Thursday afternoon when they take on Belgium at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium.

Currently top of Group F on four points, Croatia will exit the competition if they lose against Belgium and Morocco pick up at least a point against bottom side Canada. Friday afternoon then sees Son Heung-min's South Korea and Rodrigo Bentancur's Uruguay fighting it out to join Portugal in progressing from Group H.
