The reason Tottenham Hotspur have provided for leaving one player out of their pre-season tour to Australia and New Zealand has now been questioned.Spurs overcame MK Dons 1-0 in their first pre-season friendly of the summer on Wednesday, with new signing Mateus Fernandes’ outstanding long-range volley separating the two sides.The Tottenham squad departed for their pre-season tour Down Under this morning, and there were some notable absentees.While it was unsurprising that some of the World Cup participants and the injured players did not make the trip, a couple of other omissions seemed suspicious, given the speculation over their futures at the club.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramFabrizio Romano seems to suggest Tottenham are not being honest about Guglielmo VicarioGuglielmo Vicario was among the players who did not make the trip to New Zealand and Australia, and Spurs suggested that it was because the goalkeeper had sustained a ‘minor knock’.The club claimed that the Italian had stayed back at Hotspur Way to undergo treatment, but this has been questioned by Fabrizio Romano.The Italian journalist has suggested that the Spurs goalkeeper was left out of the pre-season tour as he has no future at the club, and is trying to seal a move away.Romano said on X: “Guglielmo Vicario, left out of Tottenham pre-season tour as he’s fully expected to leave the club this summer.”🚨 Guglielmo Vicario, left out of Tottenham pre season tour as he’s fully expected to leave the club this summer. pic.twitter.com/gkrsrIXwlo— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 23, 2026Rodrigo Bentancur’s absence from the pre-season tour also raises questionsApart from the injury absentees and Tottenham’s four World Cup semifinalists, two more midfielders were also left out of the squad.The club announced that Pape Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur had been granted ‘extended leave’ after their World Cup participation, and had thus not made the trip Down Under.Pape Sarr has been tipped to leave Spurs, and Bentancur’s absence from the tour may lead some to suspect that he could be on his way out of the club as well, especially given that Uruguay did not make it past the group stages of the World Cup.READ MORE: Tottenham could sign Andreas Schjelderup at £50m discount as contract talks stallThe post Fabrizio Romano appears to hint Tottenham are not being truthful about senior player appeared first on Spurs Web.
