Another source to confirm the withdrawal of Parrott:

Ireland U-19 manager Tom Mohan has been dealt another blow ahead of next week's Euro finals after Mauricio Pochettino decided to keep Troy Parrott with the Tottenham squad.
Up to 10 of Mohan's first-choice players will be missing in Armenia after clubs invoked their right not to release their cadets for a tournament falling out of the FIFA international windows. Parrott had been an integral part of Mohan's squad for the past two seasons, initiating their drive to a first qualification since 2011 by notching four goals in the first series of three qualifiers last October.
Pochettino's admiration for the 17-year-old has since curbed his international exploits. Concerns over his fitness and game-time meant he was unavailable to Stephen Kenny for the U21 games in March and June.
The Dubliner was back in fine fettle at Hotspur Way yesterday at the first day of pre-season training for Spurs. Pochettino fast-tracked Parrott into his first-team squad last Christmas and plans to use him in pre-season.

Bad news for the irish youth teams but could be great news for the full international team if parrott can cement his side in our first team squad over the next couple of years.

While I'm not a fan of preventing players from representing their countries, I'm very happy to see this lad getting time with the first team.

I guess there's no chance Edwards will be training with the first team?

He doesn't look to be back just yet. Same goes for Onomah. I believe we'll see both players back this Friday. Possibility they were both given extended breaks for individual reasons.

Yikes, I forgot about Onomah. He must be in his last chance saloon now, I didn't realise he's about 6 months older than Ndombele.

really hope that's the case but i'm not expecting much.

not that it changes anything but onomah's four months younger. hopefully he gets a good move this summer and gets his career going, think going abroad would be a good option for him as the football would more likely suit him better.

the daily mail are now saying that leeds, derby, huddersfield, stoke and reading are also all interested in taking him on loan, pretty surprised at the level of clubs supposedly in for him as whilst he still has potential he's not exactly shown much evidence of it over the past 12-18 months. as i've always said he's fine technically and athletically but mentally he just doesn't seem to be there but maybe playing senior football somewhere will get it out of him.

Spurs XI will play first friendly match today against Ebbsfleet United

https://www.ebbsfleetunited.co.uk/spurs-first-up-in-home-schedule/

With Spurs’ first team heading to Asia for a series of pre-season games, U23 manager Wayne Burnett (formerly of Dagenham & Redbridge) brings his very promising young side to the Kuflink Stadium and there’s a small chance any players not heading out to Asia could also be candidates for the trip to Kent.

I’m not really sure why playing today would exclude someone from the tour. They don’t leave till Wednesday and juventus is not for 8 days.
