Alan Hutton says Michael Dawson's return from injury is a huge boost for Tottenham.
Dawson returned from a three-month injury absence to captain the side against Chelsea on December 12.
That pitched him straight in against Nikolas Anelka and Didier Drogba as it ended 1-1 at the Lane in a classic encounter in the Premier League.
"I always thought Michael was a terrific player," Hutton told the Spurs website.
"He wins every header, he's commanding and you are bound to miss that at times.
"For him to come back and not look out of place against a team like Chelsea, to look fit and sharp, says it all. It was great to have him back."
