Alderweireld back for Spurs


Toby Alderweireld is in line to make his return for Tottenham in the Champions League game against CSKA Moscow.

Alderweireld has missed Spurs' last ten matches with a knee injury sustained in the 1-1 draw with West Brom on 15 October.

Mauricio Pochettino's side have won just twice in his absence and his return comes ahead of a busy month for the club with eight games over the next four weeks.

Alderweireld is likely to start on the bench at Wembley as Spurs look to secure third place and qualify for the Europa League.

"Toby will be involved in the squad. We are happy," Pochettino told his pre-match press conference

"It's important for him to be involved. He will be on the bench and then we will decide if he will be on the bench again at Manchester United on Sunday.

"Ben Davies is maybe not until Thursday that he will be available to be selected again, but his recovery is very good."

Pochettino has revealed that winger Erik Lamela has returned to Argentina to deal with a family matter.

Lamela has missed the last five Premier League games due to a hip injury and he has been allowed to fly home due to an issue with his brother.

"Erik Lamela is still out, it's important to send our support, because he has a problem with his family in Argentina," Pochettino explained.
