Report: Postecoglou’s plans for Spurs players during mini break – No warm-weather camp

There are 12 days to go until Tottenham Hotspur’s next game—the FA Cup fourth-round clash with Manchester City—and it has now been revealed what the squad will be tasked with by Ange Postecoglou during that time.

Thanks to Pedro Porro‘s stunning winner against Burnley in the FA Cup third round, Tottenham not only progressed to the next round of the competition, but also avoided the inconvenience of a replay, too.

Since then, Spurs had a much-needed nine-day break before the game against Manchester United on Sunday. And, with that fixture out of the way, the Lilywhites now have an even longer break before they face the blue half of Manchester in the FA Cup.

The game takes place on Friday January 26, with Spurs hosting the current cup holders in what could be a huge fixture in determining the eventual winner of the FA Cup this year.

Postecoglou will keep his squad close during the break

So, with 12 days to kill before their next game, what are the Spurs squad going to be doing? A report from Football.London reveals what Ange Postecoglou has planned.

Apparently, Postecoglou intends to “blend hard work and rest” for his players over the next week and a half. After returning from Manchester, the squad were back in training on Monday, while the starting XI undertook their “recovery work.”

While some Premier League managers have decided to take their players on a “warm-weather training camp,” Postecoglou has gone the other way and will instead “work with his players at Hotspur Way.”

It is thought Postecoglou has told his players they can enjoy “another longer rest” during the break, to “recover their bodies,” with the team getting Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off.

They will then return to training early next week for some more “fun but tough sessions” under the watchful eye of Postecoglou.

This makes perfect sense, and should be the ideal combination to get the players ready for the City game. They all need a good rest now and hopefully, a few of the injured players can get closer to a return, and then it’s back to the grind in the build-up to the big game.
