da wazamba： Since his arrival at Tottenham Hotspur from Atletico Madrid in 2015, Toby Alderweireld has become a crucial figure in defence.
da aposte e ganhe： The Belgian has formed a solid partnership with Jan Vertonghen and has adapted well to Mauricio Pochettino’s tactics.
Since November, though, the North London outfit have been without the defender due to injury.
The 28-year-old suffered a hamstring problem during Spurs’ 3-1 victory over Spanish giants Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage at Wembley.
Alderweireld had to be hauled off after just 24 minutes, and since then has been recovering.
On Wednesday night – just over three months after getting injured – the centre-back made his long-awaited comeback.
The Belgian played the full 90 minutes of Tottenham’s 2-0 victory over Newport, in what was an FA Cup fourth-round replay.
As expected, fans were delighted to see Alderweireld return to the field, and his timing could not be better as the team will face North London enemies Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.
