Antonio Conte is set to put his Tottenham players through a pre-season like nothing they have experienced before and for some members of his squad it's going to be a crucial period.
Early next month the Spurs players will start returning in stages to pre-season training, the non-internationals arriving back at Hotspur Way first and then those involved in international matches this month returning in time for the club's flight to Korea on July 9 for their pre-season tour.
Conte will work them all harder than they have ever been worked in the close season. The Italian utilises high-intensity drills, demanding extreme fitness work in a concentrated amount of time and the players will be pushed to their limits without the distraction of competitive matches.
