It's literally business as usual for Harry Redknapp this week as only 8 players will be representing their countries this week. Out of the eight players four will be representing Croatia in the only qualifying match of the week.
Exactly who is where this week, well we have the information.
Tottenham's only Brazilian representative might not see much action when they take on arch rivals Argentina in a friendly match in Doha, Qatar on Wednesday. Midfielder Sandro has made 3 appearances for Brazil, starting one game and is seen as a bit part player for the Brazilians. With such a strong midfield Sandro could well find his international career is just to make up the numbers.

Half of Tottenham's players that find themselves in international action this week could all represent Croatia on Wednesday. Niko Kranjcar could use this match as a way out of White Hart Lane, the midfielder has revealed he isn't happy being a squad player and might find a team that can guarantee him first team action when the transfer window reopens in January. The others representing Croatia this week are Luka Modric, Vedran Corluka and on-loan goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa

Peter Crouch doesn't get the credit he deserves when it comes to international football. So far he has managed to score an amazing 21 goals in 41 appearances for England but it his overall contribution that deserves the credit. He doesn't moan when starting on the bench but he always manages to get his name on the score sheet. His first goals for England came against lesser opposition but now he seems to find the net against anyone he plays against and I think he deserves more starts for England but whether he will get the chance against the French remains to be seen.

Up against England on Wednesday could well be Younes Kaboul. He was a late call up after Philippe Mexes was declared as a possible withdrawal. Kaboul has yet to play for his nation and will be hoping if Mexes is out with an injury he will get his chance to show Laurent Blanc what he is capable off and make the number 4 shirt his own.

Rafael Van Der Vaart has proved there are bargains to be found in the transfer market. When he joined Spurs from Real Madrid for £8m everyone thought it was a bargain but 5 goals in 9 appearances have proved just how much of a bargain it really is. The midfield maestro is a regular for the Dutch and Van der Vaart will be hoping to take his form into the friendly against Turkey whereas manager Harry Redknapp will just hope the dutchman returns without injury as the title holders head off to The Emirates and a showdown against North London rivals Arsenal.
