Ralph Hasenhuttl will take a 23 man squad to Holland to take on Feyenoord but there are still a couple of notable exceptions.

Whilst the squad will be missing both Charlie Austin and Mario Lemina who have been excluded by Ralph Hasenhuttl it will also be without Guido Carillo, Mou Elyounoussi and for various reasons as well as new signing Moussa Djenepo who presuambly only having reported for training after International duty is not being risked.

There is no place for Jack Stephens who now seems to be 5th choice in central defence behind Yoshida, Bednarek, Vestergaard and Hoedt all of whom do travel.

However it does include some of the players who the club are willing to listen to offers for, Cedric & Sofiane Boufal being the two most prominent.

It is though the best benchmark yet as a clue to Ralph Hasenhuttl's thinking for the coming season.

The squad for the trip to Netherlands, which includes a small number of players who have also made their way back from Macau, is as follows...

- Angus Gunn
- Alex McCarthy
- Fraser Forster
- Yan Valery
- Cédric
- Maya Yoshida
- Jannik Vestergaard
- Jan Bednarek
- Wesley Hoedt
- Ryan Bertrand
- Jake Vokins
- Pierre-Emile Højbjerg
- James Ward-Prowse
- Will Smallbone
- Harrison Reed
- Stuart Armstrong
- Josh Sims
- Sofiane Boufal
- Nathan Redmond
- Shane Long
- Danny Ings
- Che Adams
- Michael Obafemi

SaintBrock added 10:28 - Jul 28 Romeu missed some of Dublin and re-a[[eared on the last day. Have to assume either an injury from which he has not fully recovered or some personal matter that required his absence. We'll probably see him back next Saturday.

SaintBrock added 10:31 - Jul 28 Hutch has taken enough players to select two different teams, one for each half and he has already decided the line-ups. No point in taking more players if they are not going to get 45 minutes at least. Slattery will no doubt get a chance next week as well. Decision time on who will be in his PL squad is a week or two away yet.
