Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has been talking the slow recovery of Toby Alderweireld who has not played since October 15th because of a knee injury.

"From the beginning we believed it would be a very short process and period before Toby was available, but the recovery was very slow.

"The knock he got affected the nerve, but today he has started to join the group and that is very good news. It is maybe a few weeks or 10 days for him to be available if all is going well."
