Find out who made the cut and who will be staying in the UK after Tottenham announced a 35-man party to head down under for the Sydney Super Cup later this month.<\/p>\n

Tottenham<\/a> are heading to Sydney for two friendlies against A-League superpower Sydney FC<\/a> and fellow English Premier League club Chelsea<\/a> at Allianz Stadium and Accor Stadium respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Understandably, several of their big-name players will not be making the trip halfway around the world so soon after the end of the FIFA World Cup, with the likes of Cristian Romero<\/a> and Pedro Porro<\/a> on post-World Cup leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That’s in addition to a whole host of long-term injuries and rehabilitations such as Xavi Simons<\/a> (out until 2027), Wilson Odobert<\/a> (out until November) and Dejan Kulusevski<\/a>, who is going through a slow and cautious recovery back home in England having been off the pitch since last year with a severe knee injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

20-year-old Archie Gray<\/a> is captaining an inexperienced side full of fringe and academy players against Auckland FC on Sunday afternoon<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That said, plenty of household names are expected to take to the pitch for at least 30 minutes each against Sydney and Chelsea, with Richarlison<\/a> and Dominic Solanke<\/a> some of the most famous Spurs players making the trip down under.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s the full 35-man squad touring Auckland and Sydney over the next fortnight as Tottenham continue their pre-season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Sydney Super also sees Chelsea play Western Sydney Wanderers at Accor Stadium on Tuesday, whilst later in August Chelsea’s women’s team – now minus Sam Kerr – will play an A-League Women All-Stars side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
