Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has been speaking about the club's forgotten duo Vincent Janssen and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou.
The pair have not been included in Spurs' squad for their International Champions Cup tour in Singapore and Shanghai as they are trying to sort out moves away from the club.
Both players signed in the summer of 2016 but have struggled to make an impact at the club, both having spent loan spells elswhere.
Janssen was brought back into the squad in the final months of last season after failing to secure a move away from the club.
When speaking about Danny Rose - who is in a similar situation back in the UK in looking for a move - Pochettino explained that all three would be welcomed back to training if they cannot find a new club while their team-mates are away in Asia.
"Danny is still our player and of course for different reasons Nkoudou and Vincent Janssen they deal with the club, with Daniel the issues to take a little bit of time to fix different problems but personal problems that they need to sort," he said.
"After ten days after we play Manchester United and Juventus when we come back to London if they are there, they are going to be in a normal way with the team."
The Spurs boss also spoke about how the players need to push themselves on this season after their Champions League final disappointment last month.
"The players should have their own motivation. To sometimes try to make players fight is difficult. They need to motivate themselves," he said.
"When you are at a big football club playing for big things you need to be a man. Tottenham are in a very good place. In the last few years we have been a massive example for all the other clubs in how to manage a team when the situation is different.
"In the last four years we have arrived in the top four with different tools from the big big clubs. This season is going to be another massive challenge for him but we are ready. We are going to fight to have another very good season."
