Tottenham midfielder Bentaleb back for Euro date

Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentaleb is set to see action against Europa League opponents Partizan Belgrade.

The midfielder has been out of action with an ankle injury but is now back in full training and is expected to play a part as Spurs attempt to book their place in the knock-out stages of the Europe League, says the London Evening Standard.

Victory over the Serbian club at White Hart Lane will seal Tottenham's place in the last 32 with a game to spare.

Bentaleb was given his chance by former boss Tim Sherwood last season and is thought to be rated highly by manager Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine believes the Algeria international's energy and athleticism will allow him to adapt to the pressing game Pochettino wants to adopt.
