Preseason 2018

Supposing, just supposing England make the WC Final on July 16? It has just dawned on me that is 3 weeks prior to the start of the season so how many weeks holiday will Poch give our players?

And just imagine if was an England v Belgium final?

And remember Son will away in the Asian Cup so he will miss the start of the season anyway.

July 15th

4 weeks
 
In which case we would start the season without Kane, Dele, Rose, Trippier, Dier and Son. And if England were to meet Belgium in the final then the situation gets worse

I think he is correcting you. The final is on the 15th not 16th, and from the final to the start of the season it's 4 weeks not 3.

Cant believe that we'll have any of our England WC players, nor Beglians or Lloris til the Girona game at the earliest, and even then it would be off the bench

What a load a brick, no way I'm getting up at 3, 4, 1am... burn the club to the ground
 
What ever happens the Players in semis will be playing next weekend. The 3/4 playoff or final.

We are going to start the season worryingly short of first team players who’ve had a decent break.

If we end up in the 3rd place play-off then I hope Southgate treats it like the Belgium game and plays the second string.
 
We're looking at an even slower start than usual this season then. At least Eriksen and Sanchez are resting now. I can see Lamela getting plenty game time from the start of the season.

Kane, Dele, Jan and Toby being knackered too soon next season, will be our biggest worry IMO.
