Among those yet to feature are James Maddison, Damola Ajayi, Dylan Thompson, Destiny Udogie, Jan Paul van Hecke, Micky Van de Ven, Kevin Danso, Antonin Kinsky and Dominic Solanke.De Zerbi hints at possible involvement for Spurs World Cup stars against ChelseaRoberto De Zerbi has, however, hinted that a few of the players who are yet to feature on tour could be involved against Chelsea as he continues to carefully manage their minutes.Following the game against Sydney, the Italian explained why several members of his squad have not been risked so far, before suggesting that some of them may finally make their first appearances of the tour in the Chelsea fixture.He said: “Danso, Van de Ven, Solanke, JP van Hecke, I thought today they were not yet ready to play without risk. Maybe some of them can play the next game Saturday with Chelsea, maybe not at the beginning. “Maybe in the beginning Robertson and Sandro Tonali, but it’s the management of the players, especially after World Cup or after big injuries like Udogie or Solanke. They suffered long injuries last season, and after a long trip, after the jet lag, after the beginning of the pre-season, I wouldn’t like to take any risk.”READ MORE: De Zerbi reveals his plan for ‘precious diamond’ Luca Williams-Barnett at TottenhamThe post Nine Tottenham players still haven’t played a single minute on pre-season tour appeared first on Spurs Web.
