Hotspur Way is not so quiet now with a number of Tottenham players making their return to the club's training base at the start of the week. Handed a mid-season break following the 4-3 win over Leeds United as 11 of the squad jetted off to Qatar for the World Cup, Spurs' preparations have now restarted ahead of their Premier League return later this month.
Clement Lenglet, Yves Bissouma and Dejan Kulusevski were among some of the first-team players to return on Monday, with shot-stopper Alfie Whiteman also back after his time on loan in Sweden with Degerfors IF. Not all those not taking part in their World Cup were there, however.
Matt Doherty, Davinson Sanchez and Bryan Gil, all of whom played in friendlies for their national side during the break, were not spotted at Hotspur Way as they have a bit more time off after their international exploits. Lucas Moura, Ryan Sessegnon and Japhet Tanganga also appeared to be missing from the training photos released by the club even though the trio were not involved in international football in November.
