The academy ace involved in Tottenham training as Jose Mourinho prepares for Sheffield United

Jose Mourinho has plenty of time on the training pitch with his Tottenham team as they are not back in action until next Thursday.

Registering their first win since the Premier League restart on Tuesday evening as they beat West Ham 2-0, the players have a few days to recover as FA Cup quarter-final games are taking place this weekend.

It's then a trip to Bramall Lane on the agenda for the Lilywhites as they take on Sheffield United in the battle for a European spot.

Spurs face a hectic schedule next month with the game in South Yorkshire the first of four in the space of 11 days.

Mourinho plays down suggestions of rift with Ndombele

While Mourinho will no doubt be unimpressed with the amount of games in such a short amount of time, he will be pleased to have time with his players at Hotspur Way leading up to the match.

The club this afternoon released a number of photos from their latest session at their Enfield base and one of the club's academy players was involved with the rest of first team.

Training with the likes of Harry Kane and Co on a few occasions this season, Dennis Cirkin was once again putting in the hard work against the senior stars.

The left-back has caught the eye of the head coach this campaign and he was rewarded with a spot on the substitutes' bench in the FA Cup for the games against Middlesbrough and Southampton.

However, he was an unused sub in both matches and is still waiting to make his first-team bow.

Cirkin wasn't the only academy player to be involved in the session as Harvey White took his place once again.

Involved in the in-house training game prior to the restart, the midfielder was named on the bench against Manchester United last Friday but unfortunately didn't make it on.

Given their involvement in training recently, both will be hoping to feature in the matchday squad once again before the season is out.
