BACK Tottenham players, including Dejan Kulusevski, return to training as they gear up for Boxing Day clash against Brentford with 12 first-team stars on World Cup duty

A selection of Tottenham stars have returned to Hotspur Way for training following their mid-season break.

But Antonio Conte remains without 12 first-team players who are absent due to their involvement in the World Cup.

Skipper Hugo Lloris, Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son, Cristian Romero and Richarlison are all vying for the coveted trophy in Qatar.

And while they are keeping match fit out in the Gulf nation, those not involved in the international break are looking to get back into tip-top shape.

Big names back at the club include Dejan Kulusevski after Sweden failed to qualify for the global tournament.

Yves Bissouma is also being put through his paces after Mali missed out on a place at the World Cup.

Meanwhile, Emerson Royal wasn’t called up by Brazil, with England Under-21 internationals Ryan Sessegnon, Oliver Skipp and Djed Spence also missing out.

And Clement Lenglet was left out of defending champions France’s squad, despite his last outing for Les Bleus coming last year.

Also back at the club is goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman after his loan spell at Swedish side Degerfors IF concluded.

In a statement released by Spurs, the players that are back for training are undertaking drills similar to what they would be doing in pre-season.

As it stands, Spurs haven’t yet announced any warm-up friendlies prior to their Boxing Day trip to Brentford.

That is unlike their north London rivals Arsenal who will be competing against European giants Lyon, AC Milan and Juventus ahead of their clash against West Ham.

Though Football.London’s Spurs correspondent Alasdair Gold claimed earlier this month how he expects Tottenham to be involved in behind-the-scenes friendlies.

Despite having most of their senior players away at the World Cup, a number could soon be returning to England.

Should Wales lose to England on Tuesday night, Ben Davies will likely be back quicker than hoped.

South Korea are also in danger of exiting at the group stage, which will see Son return.

The same can be said for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur with Denmark and Uruguay both on just a point after two matches.

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss. But the Spurs supporters in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium were fully behind their talismanic striker. They sang in unison, ‘Harry K...
