Whilst Tottenham Hotspur will be busy preparing for their upcoming clash with Newcastle United, Antonio Conte will likely allow the squad some time to tune into the upcoming draw for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The draw takes place in Doha on Friday evening and it goes without saying that a number of the current squad in north London will be anxious to be on the plane this winter.
A huge number of the current squad have participated in qualifying and whilst the full contingent of nations is not quite yet known, the likelihood of having a number of Spurs players at the tournament itself is quite high. Experienced campaigners such as Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris are almost certainly set to appear at the tournament, the former closing in on Wayne Rooney’s England goalscoring record.
Meanwhile, other key players such as Cristian Romero and Son Heung-Min are also highly likely to be partaking with Argentina and South Korea respectively. The pair will hope to be joined by the likes of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who himself has all-but secured himself a place in the Denmark squad.
