If N'Dombele is in the squad for the Rennes game, why wasn't he in the video of them boarding the plane?

If N'Dombele is in the squad for the Rennes game, why wasn't he in the video of them boarding the plane?
Behind the camera?
Not too long ago, we were booted out of the EL by a bunch of farmers led by a man from jail while we played under the watchful eye of the 'other greatest living manager of all time'. After that day, I accept that anything's possible with Spurs.Rennes aren't a bad side, but without Camavinga and Doku they're a side we really should be beating.
So...no goalies , interesting.Players in the club video boarding the plane :
Austin
Royal
Doherty
Tanganga
Cesay
Rodon
Walcott
Regulion
Davies
Winks
Skipp
Dele
Bergwijn[Back from injury]
Lucas
Gil
Scarlett
Kane
So obviously the senior players missing are :
Dier/Son/Sessegnon (Injured)
Lo Celso/Romero/Sanchez (In Croatia)
Lloris/Gollini/Hojbjerg/Ndombele (not seen in the video)
Of the 4 not in the video. You'd assume one of those goalkeepers is going. As the club always have at least 2 goalkeepers in their squad. So given that one of them was not in the video that could be Ndombele is going even tho he's not in the video. Likewise youngster Dilan Markanday
(EDIT- Sessegnon not in squad)
The burden on the other 8..ouch.Gollini, Doherty, Tanganga, Rodon, Davies, Winks, Ndombele, White, Alli, Scarlett, Gil.
Davies Winks and Doherty?
Together at the same time?
We wont win with that team. Just over 2 years ago we were in champions league final. Then levys ego stepped in....again.The burden on the other 8..ouch.
Your positivity has just sealed our fate. Thank you.Rennes aren't a bad side, but without Camavinga and Doku they're a side we really should be beating. I expect Kane and Bergwijn will start the game.
Look forward to watching Gil and Ndombele play, hopefully both do enough to force their way into minutes vs Chelsea. Interested to see what happens at RB over the next two games.
Doku's still at Rennes. is he injured?Rennes aren't a bad side, but without Camavinga and Doku they're a side we really should be beating. I expect Kane and Bergwijn will start the game.

Not on that 18 player list are the South American trio (Lo Celso, Romero, Sanchez) plus the injured Dier and Son
Only one goalkeeper (Austin) on the list so I'd add Gollini to that list
Plus Ndombele seen in training in Rennes
Seen in training with first team in London this morning before flight were Nile John and Dilan Markanday, who are likely to have travelled ?
So 22 players identified (including Sessegnon who may be injured ?) so might be a couple of players to add ?.
If its 12 subs, that makes 23 players (plus a couple brought in case of last minute injuries)
You reckon Sess has sneaked on without Nuno knowing?
Ndombele seen in training in Rennes
...that's the spirit - "we can't win anything meaningful, so let's focus on the tin pot tourney" - this is how one builds a championship organization...We arent winning the league, even the league cup and facup willl have real top 4 PL teams in it. This cup is the only where we have a chance of winning the whole thing. We better give it a proper go.
That’s a shocking team in terms of quality bar Kane - bottom 3 PLPlayers in the club video boarding the plane :
