Tottenham have one more pre-season friendly on the agenda before the 2022/23 Premier League season commences. Departing South Korea with a 6-3 win over Team K League and a 1-1 draw against La Liga side Sevilla, the Lilywhites ensured they remain undefeated this summer with a 2-1 win over Rangers last weekend.
Going into the break trailing 1-0 after Antonio Colak's opener despite Spurs squandering chance after chance, a double from Harry Kane meant they secured victory at Ibrox. The game saw a number of Tottenham debutants, with new arrivals Fraser Forster, Djed Spence, Clement Lenglet, Ivan Perisic and Yves Bissouma all playing for the first time after not featuring in South Korea.
Head coach Antonio Conte has been keen to hand out a good amount of minutes to his Tottenham squad across all three games, using a total of 30 players so far this summer. But who has played the most amount of minutes and what could this mean ahead of Saturday's friendly vs Roma in Israel?

Tottenham players' playing time on pre-season so far:
Goalkeepers
Hugo Lloris
Games played: Three
Starts: Two
Minutes played: 188
Brandon Austin
Games played: Two
Starts: One
Minutes played: 63
Fraser Forster
Games played: One
Starts: None
Minutes played: 19
It comes as no surprise to see Lloris play the most amount of minutes so far, having started two of the three games. He'll more than likely get the nod against the Italian side but Forster could be given some pitch time after only featuring once so far due to Covid.
Centre-backs
Eric Dier
Games played: Three
Starts: Three
Minutes played: 232
Davinson Sanchez
Games played: Three
Starts: Three
Minutes played: 192
Cristian Romero
Games played: Three

Minutes played: 172
Japhet Tanganga

Minutes played: 98
Ben Davies
Games played: One

Minutes played: 40
Joe Rodon
Games played: One

Minutes played: 24
Clement Lenglet
Games played: One
Starts: None
Minutes played: 19
Malachi Fagan-Walcott
Games played: Two
Starts: None
Minutes played: 19
Charlie Sayers
Games played: One
Starts: None
Minutes played: 14
Conte has kept things very strong at the back in the games with Dier, Romero and Sanchez starting all three. Injury has so far restricted Davies' playing time, with Rodon and Lenglet only playing at Rangers after missing the Korea trip. All three would certainly benefit from a starting spot this weekend if the boss opts to rotate.
Wing-backs
Ryan Sessegnon
Games played: Three
Starts: Three
Minutes played: 150
Emerson Royal
Games played: Three
Starts: Two
Minutes played: 138
Matt Doherty
Games played: Two
Starts: None
Minutes played: 90
Ivan Perisic
Games played: One
Starts: None
Minutes played: 30
Djed Spence
Games played: One
Starts: None
Minutes played: 19
Both Sessegnon and Emerson have featured regularly in pre-season so far, with Lucas Moura also utilised as a wing-back in all three games. It was a surprise that Doherty didn't play at all in Glasgow, so he, as well as Spence and Perisic, could really do with a decent run in the side against Roma as the new campaign is almost upon us.
Central midfielders
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg
Games played: Three
Starts: Two
Minutes played: 199
Rodrigo Bentancur
Games played: Three
Starts: Two
Minutes played: 135
Oliver Skipp
Games played: Two
Starts: Two
Minutes played: 90
Pape Matar Sarr
Games played: Three
Starts: None
Minutes played: 71
Yves Bissouma
Games played: One
Starts: None
Minutes played: 45
Harvey White
Games played: One
Starts: None
Minutes played: 14
Tottenham fans have been looking forward to watching Bissouma in pre-season action after his move from Brighton but Covid put a stop to him playing in South Korea. Playing the second half against Rangers, the Mali international needs to up his minutes against Roma to put himself in the best position for a starting spot against Southampton.
Skipp also requires pitch time after missing out with a foot injury in Glasgow, while Sarr would also benefit from another opportunity to impress Conte before the club make a decision over what comes next for him.
Attackers
Harry Kane
Games played: Three
Starts: Two
Minutes played: 188
Son Heung-min
Games played: Three
Starts: Two
Minutes played: 185
Lucas Moura
Games played: Three
Starts: Two
Minutes played: 166
Richarlison
Games played: Three
Starts: Two
Minutes played: 151
Dejan Kulusevski
Games played: Two
Starts: One
Minutes played: 105
Bryan Gil
Games played: Three
Starts: One
Minutes played: 82
Troy Parrott
Games played: Two
Starts: None
Minutes played: 32
Tottenham's attackers have all had a good amount of time on the pitch in all three games, with new signing Richarlison starting the first two and getting 30 minutes vs Rangers. As the Brazilian is suspended for the Southampton opener, a start against Roma would do him the world of good and the same goes for Kulusevski after only playing in two of the three fixtures so far.
