Tottenham vs Chelsea team news: Jan Vertonghen could return but four players still out injured
Jan Vertonghen could be fit for Saturday’s London derby against Chelsea having returned to Tottenham training.Vertonghen, the Belgium international, has missed Spurs’ last nine matches with a hamstring problem but he’s now injury free.2

Vertonghen’s problem started in a match at Huddersfield

However, Mauricio Pochettino did not want to confirm whether or not Vertonghen would be fit enough for the Wembley clash, which you can listen to LIVE on talkSPORT.“It is very good news,” Pochettino said in his press conference. “He has been training with the group.“We have to wait until tomorrow to see whether he can be involved. Jan is such an important player for us. “We have a very busy period ahead so it’s important to recover our players.”Vertonghen has been one of a number of players Pochettino has been unable to call upon across the past couple of months.2

Pochettino’s squad has been beset by injury problems this season

And the Argentine will be without four other key players on Saturday evening, even if he may be boosted by Vertonghen’s return.Fellow centre-back Davinson Sanchez has a hamstring problem of his own which might keep him out for the next month or so, while Kieran Trippier (groin) hopes to be back in action by the end of next week.Danny Rose is very near a return from a groin injury, but Mousa Dembele is in Qatar, getting rehab on an ankle injury.
