Report: When the Tottenham squad are expected to jet off for pre-season

Football.London have revealed that the Tottenham Hotspur squad are expected to fly to Australia on July 14 ahead of their pre-season friendlies.

A small group of non-international first-team players and some youngsters from the academy are currently being put through their paces by Ange Postecoglou and his coaching staff at Hotspur Way.

Football.London reveal that some of the players who were involved in international matches last month will report for pre-season training on July 9 while the majority are expected to do so on July 12 as they are contractually allowed to have 21 consecutive days of rest between seasons.

Spurs fly out for pre-season in around one week

The report explains that the squad will jet off to Perth on July 14, ahead of their first pre-season friendly of the summer against West Ham United at Optus Stadium on July 18.

Tottenham then take on Leicester City at the Rajamangala Stadium, Bangkok on 23 July and finally round off their tour with a clash against AS Roma at the Singapore National Stadium on 26 July (if it goes ahead).

After returning home from Singapore, Spurs’ final friendly of the summer comes at the beginning of August when they host Shakhtar Donetsk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on August 6, a week before they kick off their Premier League campaign.

The fact that the international players arrive at Hotspur Way just two days before the squad jets off to pre-season is not ideal for Postecoglou and the coaching staff but the pre-season tour of Asia and Australia will be a crucial time for them to get their ideas across to the bulk of the playing squad.
