Tottenham’s club-record signing Tanguy Ndombele made his return to training today after sitting out the 2-0 win over Arsenal.
The France international ruled himself out of the north London derby on the morning of the game, with the Evening Standard stating that he was suffering from illness.
Now, however, Ndombele is back amongst the group ahead of tomorrow’s Europa League clash with Royal Antwerp.
The £53.8 million Spurs maestro loves to dribble with the ball – it is arguably the trademark of his game.
There a few better ball-carriers in the Premier League, in our view.
It is a wonderful thing for Tottenham to have, as Ndombele is able to carry his teammates up the pitch and relieve pressure with his brave surges.
On Wednesday afternoon, the 23-year-old was spotted polishing his trademark technique in training, with Eric Dier, Dele Alli and Davinson Sanchez in the background.

Jose Mourinho’s men have already qualified for the Round of 32, so tomorrow’s game represents a nice way to ease the Frenchman back into action.
Hopefully, he can get some beneficial minutes under his belt to build up his match fitness ahead of the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace this Sunday.
