When youre injured for that period of time, having not had a game or that much training, I know the lads are a lot fitter now, but hes bound to be a touch rusty.Tottenham fans will give me some stick, but Im only thinking from my professional point of view as a manager.But it depends on how Pochettino sees him and how his fitness is.
