Kyle Walker has returned to Tottenham training after eight months out with an abdominal injury. "It's great to be back out there with the lads," the England full back told the club's official website.
"I'm taking it one step at a time, doing things correctly as I've been told and I'll see where I am in a couple of weeks.
"Everything is good at the moment. I'll be even happier when I'm back playing but that's the final step."
There is no timescale on when Walker will again take to the field, but he believes he will do so a better player.
"I think I've matured as a player and a person and hopefully that will take me onto the next step in my career," he said.
"From my operation to my first day back in training was a 12-week programme and I didn't miss a day's work.
"I thought to myself 'I'm going to put my all into this' and hopefully that will stand me in good stead in terms of training and then working my way back into the team.
"I'm taking it slowly and hopefully it won't be too long before I'm back out there at White Hart Lane."
