Romero Argentina absence, Richarlison goals and Gil assist ... (Football.London)

Here we take a look at how a number of Antonio Conte's Tottenham squad fared in the first round of September's international fixtures.

[Udogie](https://www.football.london/all-about/destiny-udogie) for the first time. [Rodon](https://www.football.london/all-about/joe-rodon) has enjoyed a strong start to the 2022/23 campaign after featuring regularly for French side Rennes following his Tottenham loan exit. [Romero](https://www.football.london/all-about/cristian-romero) was absent for Argentina on Friday night as they warmed up for the World Cup with a 3-0 win over Honduras in Miami. [Kane](https://www.football.london/all-about/harry-kane) also on for the entirety of the defeat. [Spence delivered an eye-catching performance down England's right](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/djed-spence-destiny-udogie-spurs-25089763), getting forward regularly and causing Italy plenty of issues with his pace and attacking play. [Son](https://www.football.london/all-about/son-heung-min) was on the scoresheet once again as he netted a late equaliser in South Korea's 2-2 draw with Costa Rica. It looked fairly innocuous as Hojbjerg produced a bit of excellent defending to get his body in the way and come away with the ball. However, he had to come off with a knock in the 71st minute following a coming together with Tottenham's No.5. While the Manchester United man's visa was sorted fairly quickly, Romero's took a lot longer and it meant he was unable to be in the squad for the game against Honduras. The January signing played 85 minutes of the contest and picked up a booking during his time on the pitch. [The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/england-italy-ratings-nations-league-28068733) gave Dier a score of seven out of 10 for his showing in Milan, with Kane also receiving a seven for his efforts. It was a game to forget for the Three Lions as Roberto Mancini's team secured a 1-0 win courtesy of Giacomo Raspadori's goal in the 68th minute.
