Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has warned Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Sergio Reguilon and Harry Winks about their playing time this season.
Conte says he cannot guarantee minutes for the quartet, who Spurs are struggling to get off their books.
Speaking to football.london, Conte said: "As you said in your question, there's the World Cup and for this season, many players want to play regularly, and then for this reason I think that sometimes it's better for the player and club to find the right solution for both, because to keep players unhappy is not good and I cannot ensure they'll play regularly here in Tottenham.
"We're talking about good players but maybe they deserve to play regularly so we want to find a solution for the club and the player to keep both sides happy."
