The powerful Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is nearing a comeback.
Having not featured since August because of a knee problem, Victor Wanyama is set to return to action for Tottenham Hotspur soon.
As reported by BBC Sport, Wanyama is now back in training for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
Although there have been some memorable moments for Tottenham in Wanyama’s absence, including their Champions League group stage campaign when they overcame Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, they have often found it difficult to cope without the Kenyan.
Wanyama’s power and ability to break up play is extremely useful and Tottenham have seemed rather passive in midfield this season, lacking the aggression to really take control of games.
The return of Wanyama to action will, therefore, be a major boost for Pochettino’s team, who are looking to start performing consistently again after a difficult spell.
Wanyama will instantly provide the Tottenham midfield with greater balance, but he won’t be the solution to all of the club’s problems, especially while Toby Alderweireld remains sidelined.
Although Davinson Sanchez is now back from suspension, Tottenham have found it difficult to cope defensively without Alderweireld, who is still out with a thigh problem, especially with Eric Dier looking uncomfortable when asked to play at the hart of the defence.
Having Wanyama back will certainly be hugely beneficial for Tottenham but some issues will certainly still remain.
