The Tottenham defender could benefit from his team-mate’s struggles.
It is common for teams to get many injuries at this time of the season, but Tottenham Hotspur will be especially concerned about the situation regarding Danny Rose.
The left-back was out for almost a year due to a knee ligament injury and has struggled to regain full fitness since returning to the side.
As reported by Sky Sports, Rose has not featured for Tottenham since the victory over Southampton on Boxing Day and is undergoing tests on his knee, meaning he is likely to be ruled out of the game at home to West Ham United tomorrow night.
With Rose struggling, Ben Davies could be set for another regular run in the side.
The Wales international seized his opportunity earlier in the season as he produced some consistent performances in Rose’s absence, and he will hope to now re-establish himself in the team.
With uncertainty persisting regarding Rose’s long-term future at Tottenham, Davies has an opportunity to prove to Mauricio Pochettino that he deserves to be the club’s first-choice option at left-back.
A positive performance against West Ham would see Davies provide Pochettino with evidence that he should start even when Rose is available.
