Spurs will play Auckland FC, Sydney FC and Chelsea in New Zealand and Australia
New Tottenham signings Jan Paul van Hecke and Andy Robertson are among the players who will travel to New Zealand and Australia for the club’s pre-season tour.
Van Hecke and Robertson only returned for pre-season this week after taking extended breaks following the World Cup, and the pair were not involved as Spurs beat MK Dons 1-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Wednesday.
Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes both featured against MK Dons, with Fernandes netting the only goal of the game with a thunderous third-minute volley.
Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons, Dejan Kulusevski and Wilson Odobert will remain at Hotspur Way to continue their rehabilitation.
Guglielmo Vicario has sustained a minor knock in training and will undergo treatment.
Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Matar Sarr have been granted extended leave following their exploits at the World Cup.
World Cup finalists Pedro Porro, Marcos Senesi and Cristian Romero have also been granted extended leave.
