Thomas Frank and his coaching staff will be putting some of the Tottenham players through extra work at Hotspur Way during the international break.
The majority of the Spurssquad have made their way off on duty with their countries for the coming fortnight but some will remain involved at the club over the two weeks ahead, either getting in extra sessions with Frank and his staff or recovering from various injuries.
Frank has given his non-international players a few days off this week so many can enjoy a rest along with the boss himself after a string of games that came thick and fast and will continue to do so after the North London Derby at the end of this month.

Then the players will return to Hotspur Way with an under-21s friendly planned during the international break which the Tottenham head coach could use to give some minutes to a couple of players, with Radu Dragusin already set to play in that game.
Dragusin is one of a string of players set to continue to work at the training ground as he continues his progress from his ACL injury back in January. football.london understands the former Genoa defender is expected to participate in some training with Romania during the international break, even though he will not feature in either of their World Cup qualifiers, before returning to work with Frank.
After his recent return from knee problems, Destiny Udogiehas also been left out of Italy's most recent squad so once he returns from some time off in Dubai, the 22-year-old left-back will keep working on his fitness with the coaching staff.
Mohammed Kudus has not joined up with Ghana following the knock that has kept him out of the past two Tottenham matches but with Frank saying he was "very confident" the winger would be fit to face Arsenal after the break, that would suggest the 25-year-old hopefully will be doing some sessions with the staff next week.
Striker Dane Scarlett will be getting more time to work with attacking coach Justin Cochrane after his impressive Champions League cameo against Copenhagen and he could get more game time ahead with the attacking injuries in the squad.
Goalkeepers Antonin Kinsky and Brandon Austin will also be remaining at the training ground. Japanese defender Kota Takai has not been pictured training yet after his thigh injury but Frank did tell football.london earlier this month that he was set to return so he could feasibly be involved at some point during this break if he has not had a setback.
Then there are those recovering from injury. Randal Kolo Muani is seeing a specialist on Monday afternoon to get clarity on the jaw injury that forced him off at half-time in the draw with Manchester United and meant he had to withdraw from France duty.
Dominic Solanke will be working on his rehabilitation during this international break from his long-standing ankle problem, but Lucas Bergvall should be available to play for Sweden as he can return from the concussion protocol just before their friendly against Switzerland on Saturday.
Dejan Kulusevski, Archie Gray, Yves Bissouma and James Maddison are still in rehabilitation from their injuries while Ben Davies could feature for Wales despite having been out since the last international break with a hamstring injury he picked up on duty with his country.
"We're still monitoring Ben," Wales boss Craig Bellamy said. "We're fully aware of what's going on with training and all that with him. I know he hasn't played during that period for Spurs but he didn't play in the periods before much.
"Our games have come quite quick. If it had been a longer period I would definitely have been more concerned, but within three or four weeks he's able to maintain his fitness I don't see being that too big a problem. Our physios speak on a regular basis and I speak to Ben quite a lot, so fingers crossed we're able to get to something."
