A number of Tottenham players returned to Hotspur Way on Monday following their mid-season break. With domestic football currently on pause at present as the World Cup is in full swing, those not involved in the tournament in Qatar were given time off by Antonio Conte and his coaching team.
Following a hectic schedule since the start of September with games on the calendar every few days, the mini break will certainly have been welcomed by the players so they can relax and recharge ahead of the festive fixtures. A handful of the Tottenham squad not involved in the World Cup were still in action, though, as the likes of Davinson Sanchez, Matt Doherty and Bryan Gil represented their respective nations.
Those returning to Hotspur Way were put through similar tests and drills that occur on the first day of pre-season training in the summer. Once those tests were done by the club's coaching staff, the squad headed back out onto the pitches to begin ball work.
