Aston Villa's next game against Spurs in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium doesn't take place until November 26, but several players are already questionable for the fixture.
The final international break of 2023 is here, and the group stage of EURO 2024 qualifying is to be wrapped up until the play-offs in March. The Africa Cup of Nations is also set to take place between January through to February, however games aren't being postponed, and there's also the FA Cup to think about so squads will be put through a massive test.
Several Villa players are involved in qualifying with a total of 13 players away on international duty with their respective countries. The Premier League is a global attraction and it brings in players from various continents, and with different time zones to consider, several clubs could be dealt a problem with the South American stars who usually return late with their respective countries like Argentina and Brazil.

A busy period awaits the players when they return from international duty. The festive period will see the first midweek game week of the season, as well as several matches being played from the week of Christmas Eve into the New Year. Injuries aren't always something that can be prevented but suspensions can, however several players have already accumalated five yellow cards before the amnesty cut-off which is the 19th-game of the campaign.
Flick through our gallery to see which players have been ruled out or are in danger of missing the north London clash next week.
Son went down injured after scoring for South Korea against Sinapore. He was able to continue and said he was 'fine' but the Spurs medical staff will want a closer look at him. He said: "I am fine now, I don't like to lie down for a long time. "At that moment. I couldn't feel anything on my foot. "It's not only me, all players have small injuries but still play for the team."

Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was sent back to north London after developing flu-like symptoms. He was on course to feature against North Macedonia and Ukraine, but was replaced and now his status for the next match has been brought into question.
Dealing with a second ankle injury of the season. He had a broken metatarsal in the summer and that ruled him out for a few months, and that problem reemerged. Unai Emery said on November 8: "After the next international break, I think he’s going to be available to start training with the players and to be close to being in the squad for the matches.'

He suffered a knock against AZ Alkmaar and it was described as a 'small injury' and so hopefully he'll be okay to return. Unai Emery said on November 10: 'I don't know exactly; he's not going to be available for Sunday. "Maybe it's a small injury, maybe, but it'll be difficult to be available for Sunday.'

The Brazil striker underwent surgery for a long-term issue with his pubic bone.Ange Postecoglou said: He's kind of battled through it pretty much for the whole of the season so far, but with the international window, we saw the chance to get it done now. "He should only be a month - four weeks - hopefully not too long after the break.' (Photo: Ryan Pierse/Getty Images))
He is set to spend at least the next two months on the sidelines after suffering a fairly serious knee injury last month. He suffered a meniscus injury to his right knee in training, and after it emerged he underwent surgery on the same day. (Photo: Ryan Pierse/Getty Images))

James Maddison's been ruled out until January. An ankle injury sustained against Chelsea was a 'lot worse than we thought' according to Ange Postecoglou. (Photo: Alex Pantling/Getty Images))
