November and December are going to be very quiet months in the Premier League compared to usual with the 2022 World Cup in Qatar taking place at the end of this year. Following the release of the new 2022/23 fixture schedule last week, Spurs will face Liverpool and Leeds in November before returning to action at the end of the following month against Brentford and Aston Villa as all major leagues are going on pause with the tournament taking place.
With the World Cup not so far away now, it was confirmed on Thursday that FIFA have approved 26-man squads, as was the case at Euro 2020, for the World Cup rather than the usual 23. All 26 players will be included in a matchday squad, a change from what happened at the Euros when matchday squads remained at 23 players and three subsequently missed out on selection.
Tottenham will see a number of their squad depart for the tournament in November and the news that teams can select 26 players once again could give hope to some of those on the periphery of their national side. So which Tottenham players could this benefit ahead of the World Cup? football.london takes a look.
