Tottenham Hotspur pair Davinson Sanchez and Son Heung-min have flown around the world this week.
Sky Sports calculates that is more than the entire Arsenal squad (17,272) ahead of Saturday’s North London derby.
The Spurs teammates faced each other last Friday when South Korea beat Colombia 2-1 in Suwon, with Son scoring both the goals to continue his good form after the winner against Crystal Palace.
Sanchez went on to China before flying home, meaning that he has travelled 12,116 miles in the last week.
Son is not far behind with 11,043 miles, which is nearly twice as many as any Arsenal player.
This type of schedule can cause fatigue and may affect Mauricio Pochettino’s selection for the trip to the Emirates.
The Tottenham manager may have to rely on a tired Sanchez regardless due to fitness concerns over Belgian defenders Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, as ESPN reports.
But Son’s chances of starting may have suffered badly because of his travel schedule.
On the back of his winner against Palace, and knocks being carried by Harry Kane and Dele Alli according to ESPN, the forward may have been in contention to start on any other week.
