Tottenham Hotspur striker is back in training.
Harry Kane is not the only Tottenham Hotspur striker returning to training this week.
Vincent Janssen was pictured with his teammates, after a minor knee injury which halted his return from a long term foot problem.
Notably, Janssen was pictured wearing the club’s training gear with the number nine squad number emblazoned on it.
Janssen was handed the nine shirt when he signed, only to be left out of the club’s Premier League squad at the start of the season.
Spurs did not re-assign the squad number.
After failing to sell Janssen in January, Tottenham have made efforts to reintegrate the Dutchman to the squad.
However Tottenham’s official club website still fails to list Janssen among first team squad members.
Janssen is notably missing between number eight Harry Winks and number 10 Harry Kane.
The striker hopes he will get a chance before the end of the season and is able to contribute to the team’s Premier League title challenge.
It is presumed, especially from the image from training, that when Janssen returns he will take back his vacant number nine squad number.
With Fernando Llorente hitting form and Harry Kane returning, Mauricio Pochettino’s preference for playing only one striker means Janssen may not see playing time at all.
