Antonio Conte could be left with as many as 13 Tottenham first team stars that will be looking to impress throughout the upcoming international break.
Premier League action is set to pause for around six weeks as the World Cup gets underway in Qatar later this month, giving a number of fringe players the opportunity to stake a claim for a starting spot once the English top-flight resumes on Boxing Day. The likes of Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris are set to head to the Middle-East, while there is a doubt over whether Son Heung-min will be available after undergoing surgery on a fractured eye socket.
Conte has made it clear that he will look to give the players left behind a good break and has requested that the club heads off to a warm-weather training camp, along with some friendlies to maintain match fitness and help those recovering from injuries get back into shape ahead of the resumption of the Premier League. Back in October, Conte explained: "I gave my idea to the club, I would like to go to a place where the temperature is good, to stay there and have good training sessions and wait for the players to come back from the World Cup."
