Luka Modric has handed Tottenham boss Juande
Ramos a welcome boost by returning to full training after
recovering from an knee injury.
The Croatia international was taken off during Spurs’ 2-1 defeat
to Aston Villa last Monday but returned to training on Tuesday,
after missing Sunday’s draw with Wigan.
Modric has so far failed to find his best form at White Hart
Lane since completing a £16.5 million from Dinamo Zagreb in the
summer.
Spurs defender Michael Dawson is still recovering from a
hamstring problem and is joined on the sidelines by Alan
Hutton who has not yet recovered from a foot injury.
Hutton is due to have further scans on the injury next
month which will determine when he can return to the
first-team fold.
