World Cup Timetable :
Group games - 15th to 28th June
Last 16 games - 30 June to 3 July
Q/F games - 6th and 7th July
S/F games - 10th and 11th July
Final & 3rd place - 14th and 15th July
Add on 14 days holiday break for the players and any player whose country loses in the quarter finals or before can make the games - so its only those players from the top 4 countries squads who might not make the games in late July (say 25th July onward).
So I'd guess we will have at least a dozen first team squad players available for the first game in the International Champions Tournament - Davies, Lucas, Winks and Lamela unlikely to be at the World Cup to start with - and if England (5 players) and/or Belgium (3 players) do not make the last 4 it will definitely be more plus the likes of Walker-Peters, Onomah, Carter-Vickers and even Jannsen and N'Koudou if we need them.
I think it's 21 days in general, and in any case I doubt we'd bring someone into matches straight away with zero training. I'd be inclined to say that anyone featuring in the Last 16 is unlikely to make the ICC. We'll have a decent team no doubt, but not too many from the first XI itself.
Same Tournament, first game in late July 2017 v PSG the line up was :
Spurs (first half): Lloris (c), Walker-Peters, Carter-Vickers, Vertonghen, Davies, Dembele, Dier, Eriksen, Onomah, Nkoudou, Janssen.
Spurs (second half): Vorm, Trippier, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Davies, Dembele (Winks 60), Wanyama, Oakley-Boothe, Eriksen, Dele, Kane.
As its early in pre-season some of the players may not have more than a couple of days training before playing 45 minutes, others with more training are likely to play the 90 minutes.

I guess the first game will be on July 22, which in turn means that the first match will probably have maybe half a dozen youngsters joining the first team squad as timing will be tight for even those first team players whose countries do not make it out of the Group Stages, so first team players available may well be just those who do not go to the World cup. That might be Rose, Davies, Aurier, Lucas, Winks and Lamela plus fringe players such as Gazanigga, Walker-Peters, Onomah, Carter-Vickers and even Jannsen and N'Koudou if we need them.

With fixtures, dates and venues set to be announced at 5pm on Tuesday 17 April,
These games are such utter bollocks. Bring back proper friendlies that our core support can actually go to like Vitesse Arnham away and that tournament in Holland.
I used to really enjoy summer pre-season games... we'd have half the stadium and no stress (except for Millwall away...).
The International Champions Cup presented by Heineken is back for 2018 and bigger and better than ever! Tune in for the official schedule reveal on Facebook Live tomorrow at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. You'll also get to hear from some of European soccer's biggest legends during the livestream!

AS Roma, FC Barcelona and AC Milan
...and with those dates expect about 10 development squad players to go on tour to cover first team players at the World Cup who will struggle to be back for the first game or two of these !

Who misses the away friendlies against the likes of Stevenage and Leyton Orient?
I went to Brisbane Road back in 2008 when we scored 5 and Bent got a hattrick and it was highly enjoyable. Modric was a class above. It was nice seeing some new signings against shite opposition to heighten our expectations.
