Toby Alderweireld still being assessed by Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino says that defender Toby Alderweireld is still being assessed ahead of a return to the first-team squad.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has suggested that he is in no rush to hand a return to defender Toby Alderweireld.

On November 1, Alderweireld sustained a hamstring injury during the Champions League fixture against Real Madrid but in January, the Belgian international declared himself fully fit.

However, Pochettino is yet to select the centre-back in his first-team squad, and that may remain the case ahead of Sunday's Premier League encounter with Liverpool.

At a press conference, the 45-year-old told reporters: "You know when you've been out for a long period injured, it's important you have to assess them day by day.

"We're assessing them day by day. It's a good question. It's important to see the difference in between being fit to start training with the group and starting to be fit for the games. That is completely different."

Spurs head into the game in fifth place in the Premier League table.
