Jose Mourinho has been handed some positive news on the injury front regarding Moussa Sissoko.
The Frenchman sustained a knee injury in the 1-0 defeat at Southampton on New Year's Day and had to undergo surgery to correct the problem.
Working his way back to fitness at Hotspur Way over the past couple of weeks, the Frenchman is now out of the gym and is continuing his rehabilitation on grass.
Spurs revealed in January that Sissoko was due to return to training alongside his teammates at the start of April but it seems he could be back sooner than expected.
Mourinho was quizzed at his pre-match press conference ahead of the Chelsea game about when exactly the French international could be back on the pitch and it is good news for all Tottenham fans.
"I think Moussa will give us some matches this season," he said. "He went outside, started a little bit. Next week we'll have a different phase of his recovery.
"In an optimistic but realistic situation, I'd expect Moussa to play a few weeks of football with us.
"It could be like six weeks of football with us. The whole of April and half of May.
"In normal conditions, we're going to have him back by end of March or beginning of April."
Currently competing in three competitions, April could be a very busy month for the club if they progress in the Champions League and FA Cup.
Spurs start the month with an away game at Sheffield United, before facing further league games against Everton, Bournemouth and Arsenal.
