According to Football.London, Mauricio Pochettino expects Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele to be back fit and ready to face Crystal Palace this weekend.

Spurs went into the international break off the back of a 2-2 draw at Arsenal, a game which Ndombele missed through injury.

The summer signing from Lyon suffered a thigh injury last month, meaning he missed the home game with Newcastle United and then the North London derby.

Fans have been anxious to get Ndombele back in, and it seems that he could well return to the Spurs side against Crystal Palace next weekend.

It’s claimed that Pochettino expects Ndombele to join Kyle Walker-Peters in making his return to action, a massive double boost to Tottenham.

Ndombele only has two appearances to his name for Spurs, but he’s already shown his quality with a goal and an assist, starring as a progressive midfielder who can combine technique and athleticism perfectly.

Having been left at home by France, Ndombele has had time to heal and get himself back for the Palace game, and it appears to have worked perfectly for Pochettino and co.

It may not be great news for Giovani Lo Celso on the injury front, but it seems that Ndombele is in line for just his third competitive Spurs appearance next weekend.
