Sissoko, Lamela, Vertonghen, Janssen - Who trained and who didn't for Spurs today for Ajax game

The Tottenham Hotspur players took part in their final training session on Monday ahead of the Champions League semi-final first leg against Ajax.

The goalkeepers emerged first with Paulo Gazzaniga, Michel Vorm and Alfie Whiteman heading off with goalkeeping coach Toni Jiminez to the far pitches. Hugo Lloris did not join them initially as he took part in the outfield session with his team-mates, getting involved with passing drills and rondos (piggy in the middle in schoolyard terms).

Of the injured players, Harry Kane was working in the gym, Erik Lamela was training alone with a member of the sports science staff on an adjoining pitch, while Serge Aurier and Harry Winks remain out and continuing their injury rehabilitation.

In some positive news, Moussa Sissoko was back in training after his groin injury, while Jan Vertonghen, rested from the defeat against West Ham after suffering from fatigue, was back in training as well.

The younger players involved were academy midfielder George Marsh, who made his senior debut for the club in the FA Cup this season, and Oliver Skipp, who has been involved in the Premier League and Champions League this season.

Vincent Janssen and Son Heung-min also took part, although neither can play tomorrow, the Dutchman isn't registered and the South Korean star suspended.

Mauricio Pochettino walked on to the pitches at the start of the season but left coaches Jesus Perez and Miguel D'Agostino to it during the open portion of the session.
