Tottenham Hotspur announced its pre-season tour list of players who will be on the plane, as the club prepares for games against Vissel Kobe in Tokyo (Saturday) before traveling to Seoul, South Korea to take on the K League All Stars (July 31) and a matchup with FC Bayern (August 3). Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany announced today that Harry Kane will not be making the trip to face his old side in South Korea.
Seeing many of the first team players coming back for training the last few weeks and playing two pre-season games thus far with victories against Hearts (5-1) and QPR (2-0), the team now makes flight to Japan and South Korea.
The official list has been named in alphabetical:
George Abbott
Brandon Austin
Lucas Bergvall
Yves Bissouma
Ben Davies
Alfie Devine
Jamie Donley
Radu Dragusin (Korea only)
Archie Gray
Luca Gunter
Tyrese Hall
Brennan Johnson
Dejan Kulusevski
Will Lankshear
James Maddison
Mikey Moore
Ashley Phillips
Pedro Porro
Richarlison
Emerson Royal
Pape Matar Sarr
Dane Scarlett
Oliver Skipp
Manor Solomon
Heung-Min Son
Djed Spence
Destiny Udogie
Guglielmo Vicario
Alejo Veliz
Timo Werner
Alfie Whiteman
A few omissions from making the tour are Fraser Forster — as the club says he is still rehabbing at Hotspur Way from a fractured foot. The likes of Micky van de Ven and Copa America winners of Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso are expected to join the squad closer to the start of the season as they’ve earned a rest for making it far in international competitions.
Other notes from the press release: Spanish players Bryan Gil and Sergio Reguilion were granted permission to stay back as they look for possible transfer moves.
