Tottenham Hotspur have played their final Premier League fixture ahead of another international break, but some players will be back in action sooner than expected.
Tottenham Hotspur ended their pre-international break curse against Leeds United in October securing a 2-1 win at Elland Road.
It looked like Spurs would achieve another victory directly before the November break, but a Matthijs De Ligt header robbed Spurs of the win after a second half comeback.
Tottenham return to competitive action on November 23 for the North London derby, but some players will not have to wait as long to represent their club again.
Spurs will play during the international break
Football London report that Tottenham are set to arrange a friendly at Hotspur Way during the international break next week.
The match will see Radu Dragusin back in a Spurs shirt for the first time in 10 months, with the defender suffering from a long-term ACL injury.
There was some hope that Dominic Solanke would join him in the non-competitive fixture, but Thomas Frank has confirmed he is unlikely to be ready in time.
Tottenham must come back stronger after the break
It has been a difficult few weeks for Spurs in the Premier League and a trip to Arsenal will arguably be their toughest test yet.
A friendly during the international break could be of some use, but no player participating is likely to feature in the clash of the two rivals from North London.
Frank must use the halt in club football to learn why his team are not consistently performing and come up with a solution, because some recent displays have simply not been good enough.
