Minutes were hard to come by for some Tottenham Hotspur's loan players at their clubs across England and the continent this week.

Spurs have a group of loan players sent out at clubs within the Premier League, Football League, Germany, Netherlands and Turkey, with some of them being youngsters getting experience under the belt, some trying to earn themselves a permanent move away and others just looking to catch the new head coach Ange Postecoglou's eye before a final decision will be made next summer on their future.

Here's how Tottenham's eight loan players got on this week away from the club.

Tanguy Ndombele

It was a big moment for Tanguy Ndombele as he finally made his first start for Galatasaray and got 63 minutes under his belt as they won 2-0 at Antalyaspor. Former Spurs defender Davinson Sanchez also had a big night, scoring the first goal for his new side.

In the week, Ndombele had got six minutes from the bench late on in the Champions League victory at Old Trafford against Manchester United.

The Frenchman will finally feel that he can get his season up and running now after a couple of weeks in which his fitness levels have been questioned by the Turkish media.

Sergio Reguilon

Sergio Reguilon remains out of action with a muscular injury and the Spaniard made it four matches in a row out of the Manchester United team as he missed the dramatic win at Brentford on Saturday as well as the Champions League defeat to Galatasaray in midweek.

Reguilon had been one of United's better players before the injury which has hindered his progress in Manchester.

Joe Rodon

Joe Rodon was back in the team and got back-to-back starts as Leeds United won both of their matches this week.

The Welshman played every minute at the back as Leeds won 1-0 at home to QPR on Wednesday night and then on Saturday as they came out 2-1 victors against Bristol City at Elland Road.

Leeds Live handed Rodon a seven in their player ratings for the weekend with the review: "Another very solid outing for the Wales international. Completely untroubled throughout the afternoon."

Rodon also got a seven after returning to the defence for the win against QPR with the words: "Immediate improvement in the defence. Assertive and proactive in coming to meet the loose supply line being sent towards Sinclair Armstrong."

Djed Spence

Djed Spence remains out after he suffered an injury to his lateral collateral ligament in his knee following a challenge during training last month and the right-back will miss eight weeks of action in total for loan club Leeds.

"The injury is not expected to require surgery and we expect Djed to return to play within eight weeks. We wish Djed a speedy recovery," said a statement on Leeds' website at the time.

Japhet Tanganga

Japhet Tanganga is still awaiting his first match for Bundesliga side Augsburg after joining them on loan with an option for the German outfit to buy him, which becomes an obligation if certain conditions are met.

The 24-year-old Spurs academy product arrived with a knee injury with some suggestions in Germany that he will return to action this month.

Troy Parrott

Troy Parrott got 22 minutes from the bench in Excelsior Rotterdam's 0-0 draw at Vitesse on Saturday.

The 21-year-old has played in all but one of the Eredivisie side's matches so far this season, scoring in back to back games before the stalemate at Vitesse.

He had scored his first senior club goal outside of England after coming off the bench to net for Excelsior in the 88th minute in their impressive 3-0 win at Heerenveen and then scoring the winning goal in the final moments of the derby at home against Sparta Rotterdam.

The Republic of Ireland international will now be hoping to make his first start for the Dutch side.

Dane Scarlett

Dane Scarlett was an unused substitute as Ipswich won 4-2 at home against Preston at the weekend.

He did get 10 minutes from the bench in midweek as Kieran McKenna's side won 3-0 at Portman Road against Hull City.

The Tractor Boys are absolutely flying and sit second in the Championship under McKenna's stewardship, with nine wins from their first 11 matches and 25 goals scored and 13 conceded.

Ipswich's form and goalscoring has meant Scarlett has needed to be patient but in McKenna the England U21 international has a big admirer so those minutes will continue to rack up.

Alfie Devine

At the weekend Alfie Devine came off the bench for the injured Conor Grant in the first half half and played 57 minutes in Port Vale's 2-0 defeat at Portsmouth.

That came after the 19-year-old was taken off at half-time with a yellow card to his name in Tuesday night's 3-0 defeat at Bristol Rovers in League One.

Devine is taking his early steps into senior football and has been drawing plenty of praise for adaptation so far.
