There were mixed fortunes for Tottenham's big group of loan players this week as, like their parent club, many went through a variety of emotions.
Tottenham currently have 13 loan players plying their trade across clubs in the Football League as well as in Scotland, Spain and Belgium as well as Luka Vuskovic, who will join the north London club this summer after being loaned from Hajduk Split to Westerlo in the Jupiler Pro League.
So how exactly did all 14 Tottenham players, including the one to be, fare for their respective clubs in the past week? football.london takes a look below.
Yang Min-hyeok (QPR)
Yang Min-hyeok made his longest appearance yet for QPR as the 18-year-old started his third game for the club and played 89 minutes of the 1-0 defeat at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon.
The South Korean starlet's loan move has been a successful one so far in that it has given him plenty of exposure to the pace and physicality of the English game and he's got game time in every one of the seven matches since his arrival at the Championship club.
QPR will have been disappointed though with the defeat at the Hawthorns with the Baggies playing the second half with 10 men after former Rangers man Darnell Furlong was sent off in first half stoppage time.
Yang's case was not helped by the current striker shortage at QPR due to injuries, meaning the winger had no real focal point to aim for with his crosses.
During the game, Yang had 37 touches of the ball, made two tackles and one interception, but found himself dispossessed twice with two unsuccessful touches of the ball. He put in three crosses with only one finding its target. The teenager received a 6.19 in Whoscored's stat-based ratings, which was higher than most of his midfield counterparts.
Will Lankshear (West Bromwich Albion)
Will Lankshear would have come up against his Spurs team-mate Yang had he not been an unused substitute again in West Brom's win on Saturday.
After four appearances in a row for the sixth-placed Baggies, the 19-year-old striker has had to watch on from the bench in the past couple of matches as his loan club have picked up some good results.
Lankshear will be hoping to get some game time in another tough fixture on Tuesday evening with West Brom travelling to third-placed Burnley before welcoming Hull on Saturday.
Alfie Devine and Luka Vuskovic (Westerlo)
There was a welcome and speedy return for Alfie Devine from his hamstring injury as the 20-year-old came off the bench for the final 25 minutes on Sunday to help ensure Westerlo's 2-0 win at home against Anderlecht.
Luka Vuskovic, who turned 18 last month, made it back-to-back man of the match awards and added another goal involvement to his tally this season with an assist and a clean sheet.
The big centre-back won an aerial duel from a corner just two minutes into the contest, knocking the ball on to the unmarked Matija Frigan to nod home the opener.
Vuskovic's stats from the game said it all about his performance as the underdogs picked up an impressive win against fourth-placed Anderlecht.
The Croatian youngster made 14 clearances, blocked four shots, made one interception, one tackle and did not commit a single foul. He won all four of his aerial duels and all three of his ones on the ground and managed a 94% pass accuracy with two of his three long balls proving to be accurate and he went on one successful dribble while earning two fouls himself.
Despite being a centre-back, Vuskovic now has seven goals and two assists to his name from his 27 appearances for the Belgium club and with his defensive ability constantly growing, it's clear why there's a lot of excitement about his arrival at Tottenham this summer.
Manor Solomon (Leeds United)
Manor Solomon tasted a rare thing with Leeds - defeat - as the Championship leaders fell to their first loss in the league since November with a 1-0 defeat at Portsmouth.
It was a day when the Leeds attackers struggled to create much and Solomon found himself crowded out at times during his 68 minutes on the pitch.
The 25-year-old received a six in Leeds Live's player ratings from the game with the review: "Often had two markers on him and therefore struggled to make an impact. Rounded the goalkeeper well after a poor first touch for Joel Piroe's missed sitter. His shot had led to Piroe's first missed chance. Tracked back when needed to too but left the field having not produced much danger otherwise."
It was Solomon's 31st Leeds appearance of the campaign and he has racked up seven goals and eight assists in those games.
Ashley Phillips (Stoke City)
Ashley Phillips once again played the full 90 minutes, but could not prevent Stoke from losing 3-2 at Coventry in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Stoke had got themselves back from 2-0 down to 2-2, only to concede in added time at the end of the game. While it has been another big season of experience for the 19-year-old, Stoke have struggled with their managerial changes this season and lie 20th in the table.
Phillips received a 6.5 in Stoke-on-Trent Live's player ratings, with the review: "Won a few important headers and was largely no nonsense. Couldn’t chase down Thomas in time to stop winner."
Phillips has played 29 times for Stoke this season, scoring once with a back flick in the Carabao Cup earlier in the campaign.
Bryan Gil (Girona)
Bryan Gil awaits his La Liga match this week as Girona are set to travel to Espanyol on Monday night. It will be a clash of two sides in the bottom half of the table.
During this loan spell, the Spaniard has played 31 times this season for Girona with four goals and three assists.
Alejo Veliz (Espanyol)
When Gil arrives in Espanyol for the match on Monday night, he could face his Spurs team-mate Alejo Veliz, who will be hoping to get some minutes himself.
The 21-year-old striker has not played in a while as after being an unused substitute in Espanyol's last game at Alaves, their match at Villarreal the following week was postponed due to the fear of flooding and now comes the home game against Girona.
Veliz has made 22 appearances in all this season for Espanyol, scoring four times with one of those coming in La Liga.
Jamie Donley and Josh Keeley (Leyton Orient)
Leyton Orient's season continues to stutter after that great run into February as now they have lost five on the bounce in League One.
While the first three defeats were to promotion-chasers, the previous two have been losses to strugglers Rotherham and Northampton.
Jamie Donley got 77 minutes under his belt as they lost 2-1 at home to 18th-placed Northampton on Saturday and goalkeeper Josh Keeley played the full 90 minutes plus.
The goals and assists for Donley and the clean sheets for Keeley might have dried up for now but both players have still had loan seasons to remember.
Alfie Dorrington (Aberdeen)
Alfie Dorrington got a much-needed start and played his part as Aberdeen overcame Queen's Park 4-1 at home in the quarter-finals of the Scottish FA Cup on Saturday.
The 19-year-old centre-back has been coming off the bench in recent Scottish Premiership games but this was his first start for a month and he will have benefited from the extended minutes.
Dorrington got 72 minutes to his name, making it 337 across seven matches in his first loan move, having made his Premier League debut for Spurs in December late on in the win at Southampton.
Matthew Craig (Mansfield Town)
Matthew Craig continues to miss out on Mansfield's matches in League One. The 21-year-old had been back on the bench for Town late last month after missing their past seven league games with a back issue. However, he has not been included since and has only played 33 minutes for the club since switching from Barnsley in the winter window.
His manager Nigel Clough explained on Saturday that Craig now has a hamstring injury but is making progress on his return from that.
George Abbott (Notts County)
George Abbott is nearing the 3,000 minute mark during his impressive loan campaign at fourth-placed Notts County even if Saturday brought defeat at fifth-placed AFC Wimbledon in League Two.
The 19-year-old got another 90 minutes to his name to make it 2,740 in all competitions across 32 appearances for the Magpies. He has also clocked up five goals and five assists as well during the season so far.
Luca Gunter (Wealdstone)
Luca Gunter suffered two 4-1 defeats within four days with Wealdstone as the 19-year-old goalkeeper had to pick the ball out of the net eight times across the two National League games at Spurs' FA Cup third round opponents Tamworth on Tuesday evening and then Rochdale on Saturday.
Gunter has made nine league appearances so far for the struggling non-league outfit and has conceded 20 goals in those matches. It is still proving to be an important first developmental loan for the teenager.
