Which Tottenham players will be in action during the international break?

Losing before an international break is always the worst because, before Tottenham are next in action against Ipswich, fans have a fortnight to stew on that result at Elland Road. For 12 members of Roberto De Zerbi's squad, it will be a busy international window, so find out when the Spurs stars around the world will be in action this week.

Netherlands: Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke

• Fixtures: 13 November vs Greece and 16 November vs Germany.

As Xavi seeks to guide Netherlands in to the Nations League quarter-finals, how prominent a role will Jan Paul van Hecke and Micky van de Ven play? Well, with Virgil van Dijk out injured, the chances of both seeing minutes against Greece and Germany are now pretty high.

Italy: Sandro Tonali

• Fixtures: 12 November vs France and 15 November vs Belgium.

Sandro Tonali is one of the first names on Roberto Mancini's team sheet, expected to start both of the Azzurri's matches against France and Belgium.

Sweden: Dejan Kulusevski

• Fixtures: 14 November vs Bosnia & Herzegovina and 17 November vs Poland.

He's back! Having come off the bench during Tottenham's last four matches, Dejan Kuluševski is in contention to earn his first Sweden cap since November 2024. Lucas Bergvall though has not been called up by Graham Potter due to a knee injury.

Scotland: Andy Robertson

• Fixtures: 13 November vs North Macedonia and 16 November vs Switzerland.

This will be an historic international window for Andy Robertson. On Friday night, he will match Sir Kenny Dalglish's all-time Scotland record of 102 caps, before surpassing a record that has stood for four decades in St. Gallen on Monday.

Spain: Pedro Porro

• Fixtures: 12 November vs Czechia and 15 November vs England.

Despite being in and out of the Spurs side due to injury, Pedro Porro has been called up by Luis de la Fuente, set to start both games, as he's the only obvious right-back in la Roja's squad.

Portugal: Mateus Fernandes

• Fixtures: 14 November vs Denmark and 17 November vs Wales.

Despite his enormous price tag, Mateus Fernandes has just one senior international cap to his name, debuting against the United States at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in March. Back in the fold, with Portugal having already qualified for the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals, Jorge Jesus can rotate, so Fernandes will be hoping to make his competitive debut.

Uruguay: Rodrigo Bentancur

• Fixtures: 13 November vs Argentina and 17 vs Dominican Republic.

Following their disastrous World Cup campaign, Diego Forlán is now in charge of Uruguay. Rodrigo Bentancur captained his country against Japan and Korea Republic in September, so is set to start both internationals this week too.

Egypt: Omar Marmoush

• Fixtures: 13 and 17 November vs Malawi.

As Egypt look to rubber stamp their spot at next summer's AFCON, the Pharaohs will face Malawi, world ranked 131, in a double-header this week. Thus, Omar Marmoush will surely fancy his chances of adding to his 11 international goals, followed a brace against South Sudan in September.

Ghana: Mohammed Kudus

• Fixtures: 12 and 16 November vs Somalia.

Mohammed Kudus has not featured for Ghana since October 2025, missing the World Cup due to a quad injury. However, he is now set to return to action for the Black Stars, who face Somalia twice in AFCON qualifying.

Wales: Ben Davies

• Fixtures: 14 November vs Norway and 17 November vs Portugal.

Despite being nothing more than a squad player at Spurs, Ben Davies started and captained Wales in all four Nations League matches during the previous window, set for two more starts here. The defender currently has 104 caps to his name, just seven below Gareth Bale's all-time record.

Czechia: Antonín Kinský

• Fixtures: 12 November vs Spain and 15 November vs Croatia.

Last, but by no means least, will Antonín Kinský enjoy a rare international outing? The 23 year old made his debut for Czechia last month, starting the 3-1 defeat against Spain in Oviedo.

Matěj Kovář of PSV and Newcastle's Lukáš Horníček are the other goalkeepers who have called up and, with the Czechs having lost all four Nations League matches to date, head coach Santi Denia is still searching for his best team.
