Tottenham's players will be travelling over 60,000 miles between them this international break, more than twice the circumference of the world.
As the end of the season fast approaches, clubs are looking for any potential advantage they may have over their rivals.
Unfortunately for Spurs, the international break has just handed the teams challenging them for a place in the top four a big boost.
Tottenham players heading out on international duty are set to travel a massive 63,782 miles between them.
That’s almost 20,000 miles more than any other team in the top flight.
