Tottenham Hotspur winger Bryan Gil is back in training and it looks like his teammates are delighted to see him return.
Bryan Gil is looking to ramp up his return to action for Tottenham Hotspur after a frustrating injury lay-off.
Ange Postecoglou has plenty of options in the final third right now.
Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski are mainstays with Richarlison, Manor Solomon and Brennan Johnson in the picture.
The forgotten man here is Gil, who is back at Tottenham after spending the second half of last season on loan at Sevilla.
Bryan Gil returns to Tottenham Hotspur training
Gil helped Sevilla reach the Europa League final before heading back to North London in the hope of impressing new manager Ange Postecoglou.
However, Gil underwent groin surgery in August with no timeframe for a return mentioned at the time.
Gil is now back in training at least, but wasn’t in the squad to face Liverpool on Saturday.
Spurs will take it slow with Gil and his return but Tottenham players seem to be pretty excited about his comeback.
Gil posted photos from training on his Instagram with the likes of Cristian Romero, Emerson Royal and Giovani Lo Celso all celebrating his return.
There was also a message from Tottenham right back Pedro Porro, who branded his fellow Spaniard Gil ‘mago’ – which translates to ‘magician’ in English.
Gil facing crucial period at Tottenham
Porro may well feel that Gil is a magician on the ball but we are still waiting to see it consistently in a Spurs shirt.
Gil joined Tottenham more than two years ago but is still yet to really get going in North London.
The Spaniard has only made 13 Premier League appearances for Spurs and has been loaned out twice, first to Valencia and then to Sevilla.
There have been question marks over whether Gil is really suited to Premier League action given his slight frame.
Gil clearly has plenty of technical ability though and if any manager can get the best out of him, it may well be Postecoglou.
If Gil doesn’t kick on this season, Tottenham may well call time on his Spurs career and look to move him on in 2024.
