Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko seems to be 100% fit ahead of our clash against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.
The Frenchman picked up an injury in the 1-0 defeat against Manchester United and had to be replaced. The midfielder has not featured since for Spurs with the team just about squeezing past Fulham at the weekend.
Sissoko has been one of the stars for Spurs this season, and the Frenchman posted some pictures in training.
Happy to be back with the team 🙏🏿 #COYS #MS17 pic.twitter.com/qsQx8xrZen

The 29-year-old’s return will be a huge boost to Spurs who are short on fit senior players. Dele Alli was the latest first-team star to pick up an injury, and the Englishman is ruled out till March with a hamstring problem.
Harry Kane also is out till March with ankle ligament damage while Son Heung-min is participating in the Asian Cup with his national side.
It will be interesting to see if Sissoko starts against Chelsea or makes it to the bench, but this is good news for the remainder of the campaign.
The former Newcastle star has been excellent in a deeper midfield role for us, and even though he doesn’t have a goal to his name this season, he has put in some quality shifts for Spurs.
Several Spurs fans were excited at the return of Sissoko and posted some great reactions on Twitter.
We are so pleased to have u back 🙌🏼 we need you
