Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose has missed three months with injury.
Mauricio Pochettino has suggested to Football.London that Danny Rose could be fit to feature for Tottenham Hotspur against Arsenal.
Rose has been out for three months, after damaging his knee back in January.
But the left-back has started to train with Spurs’ first-team again in recent days.
And Pochettino said, when asked whether Rose would be fit for Tottenham’s match against their North London rivals on Sunday: “Three months he’s been injured.
“Today he started to do some stuff with the group. Next few days we’ll see. Trying to compete after three months is difficult.”
In truth it would be a surprise if Rose was fit to start at Arsenal on Sunday, but his imminent return is good news for Pochettino’s side.
Ben Davies has generally been used to cover for Rose during the England international’s time on the sidelines, and he has done a solid job.
However, Davies does not have the same attacking thrust as the 26-year-old in his game, and it is likely that Rose will take over as first choice left-back as soon as he is fit enough to play.
Davies is likely to start for Spurs tomorrow, when they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in what is a hugely important match for their Premier League title ambitions.
