The Tottenham Hotspur full-back may yet return for the crucial clash with Arsenal.

According to a report from the London Evening Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose has not given up hope of returning to action in time for the huge Premier League clash against Arsenal later this month.

The left-back has been side-lined with a knee ligament injury since the end of January and he is missing just when Tottenham need him the most, with Mauricio Pochettino’s side fighting for both the league title and the FA Cup.

The England international will not be available for Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea but he is reportedly targeting the North London derby on 30 April.

That match could see Tottenham not only continue their pursuit of Chelsea but also deal a huge blow in the Gunners’ hopes of finishing in the top four.

Rose is a key player for club and country these days but Tottenham have benefited from having Wales international Ben Davies in reserve, proving just how well Pochettino has built a squad capable of competing in multiple competitions.
