Tottenham Hotspur defender Serge Aurier was spotted back in training ahead of their clash with Brentford later this evening, after photographs emerged from yesterday’s session.
Aurier missed out on making Tottenham’s squad at the weekend, as they beat Leeds United.
But the £23 million Ivorian right-back (BBC Sport) looks an almost certain start this evening.
With Matt Doherty out through suspension, Aurier will surely come back into Tottenham’s starting line-up.
Aurier has enjoyed a strong season with Tottenham to date, although his last performance was an error prone one.
Aurier gave away a penalty against Leicester City, and he will be under pressure to ensure that he does not make any rash mistakes again, as Tottenham look to make it into the final of the League Cup.
Spurs go into tonight’s game as heavy favourites against opponents from the league below, but Brentford do pose a strong attacking threat, and Aurier will need to be at his best to thwart their offensive talents.
