Joe Rodon in action, injury comeback and what we noticed in Tottenham training for Leeds

Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action at the weekend as they make the trip to Elland Road to take on Leeds United.

football.london has taken a closer look at the Spurs training session ahead of the game below...

Dele undercover

It's been a difficult year for Dele Alli at Spurs, with rumours linking him with a January transfer after a first half to the season in which he did not feature regularly.

The midfielder has come back into the fold recently, bringing with him a new hairstyle to boot.

But the England star was keeping a bit more of a low profile in training, sporting a beanie to keep his locks under wraps.

Alfie Whiteman returns

Spurs announced at the start of April that Alfie Whiteman would be out of action for a while after undergoing surgery on his left knee.

The 22-year-old suffered a tear to his meniscus, but is already back in training.

Here's hoping that the keeper will be back and available for matchday squads before the end of the season.

Hart making an impact

Joe Hart hasn't had the biggest impact on the field at Spurs so far, with Hugo Lloris restricting the need for his appearance for most of the season.

But Hart did not become a Premier League title winner without a winning mentality, and he was arguably showing what it takes to compete at the highest level with a touch of a late challenge on Sergio Reguilon.

Joe Rodon putting in the work

It was noticeable in the win against Sheffield United that Joe Rodon again failed to make the matchday squad of 20 players a week after missing out on the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City at Wembley.

The Welsh defender was a regular in the team as Jose Mourinho's time at the club came to an end, but has yet to make a matchday squad under Mason.

He was back in training as usual alongside Gareth Bale (top picture), hoping to impress ahead of the game against Leeds.
