Tottenham’s Toby Alderweireld is pleased to be back.
Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld made a seamless return to action as he returned to the starting line-up against Brighton.
Alderweireld has been missing from recent squads due to the ongoing uncertainty over his future.
He was recalled against Brighton and performed well, looking like he had not missed a beat in the 1-1 draw.
Alderweireld sent a message after the game expressing his excitement at being back, and disappointment at the draw.
Alderweireld will be disappointed at not keeping a clean sheet, but he could do nothing about the equaliser.
Serge Aurier clumsily fouled Jose Izquierdo to concede a penalty which was scored by Pascal Gross.
Alderweireld was in for Davinson Sanchez who was rested but is likely to be back in consideration for this weekend’s FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino has a big call to make over whether Alderweireld starts.
