Conte's team and those missing out
Returning to training at Hotspur Way last Monday, those not involved in World Cup action got some vital minutes in the tank on Friday afternoon when Tottenham hosted Motherwell at their Enfield training base. Still able to field a strong XI with the likes of Davinson Sanchez, Yves Bissouma and Dejan Kulusevski all present, a host of players were given some valuable playing time against the Scottish side.
Djed Spence, Japhet Tanganga, Harvey White, Oliver Skipp and Bryan Gil were all named in Antonio Conte's starting XI and it was a huge opportunity for the quintet to impress the boss. There was also a big chance for youngster Charlie Sayers to show what he could do as he slotted into the left of a back three after impressing those at the club since his move from Southend United one year ago.
