Ange Postecoglou and his Tottenham players have to wait to put their Brighton frustrations behind them until Saturday October 19 when West Ham make the trip across London.

While Spurs were superb in their first half performance at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, they had 18 disastrous minutes in the second half that turned a 2-0 scoreline becoming a 3-2 defeat in the Premier League. Then the international break arrived, robbing the Tottenham players and Postecoglou of the chance to immediately make amends.

The next Premier League game arrives for Spurs with a London derby against West Ham with a 12.30pm kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next Saturday.

So who will return when for the big match and who is already at Hotspur Way in Enfield preparing for the derby against the Irons?

First, off there are those recovering from injury in the shape of captain Son Heung-min, who has not linked up with South Korea this fortnight due to his hamstring issue. Wilson Odobert also has his own hamstring injury while Richarlison is on his way back finally from his calf problem.

Those not in the treatment room and able to train this week include James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur – who is suspended from international duty and awaiting the verdict on his FA charge, Timo Werner, Djed Spence, Sergio Reguilon and the goalkeepers Fraser Forster, Brandon Austin and Alfie Whiteman.

The senior international players start to return to the Enfield training complex from Monday onwards. Dominic Solanke’s second England game takes place in Finland on Sunday evening.

Then Lucas Bergvall, Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma, Ben Davies, Brennan Johnson, Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario and Micky van de Ven all face matches on Monday evening across Europe – and in Guinea-Bissau in Bissouma’s case – so the bulk of them will be back at Hotspur Way on Tuesday.

Mikey Moore, Pape Matar Sarr, Radu Dragusin, Pedro Porro and Archie Gray all have games at various times on Tuesday, with the time difference meaning Cristian Romero’s match for Argentina at home against Bolivia will not kick off until 1am UK time in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Those players will likely all return to Hotspur Way for recovery or training on either Wednesday or Thursday, which means Postecoglou will only have a short turnaround with some before the Hammers come to town.
