The reason loan man may have to return to Tottenham

Kazaiah Sterling will be hoping for a change in fortune very soon with injury limiting him to only four appearances for Doncaster Rovers so far this season.

Featuring in eight games for Sunderland last term as he left north London to get some regular football under his belt, it has once again been a stop-start campaign for the 20-year-old.

The striker has yet to feature since Rovers' 2-1 victory over Rotherham at the beginning of September after picking up what the club initially thought was a dead leg.

It in fact turned out to be a thigh injury and the youngster is still waiting to return to the pitch for the League One side.

Rovers boss Darren Moore has claimed that the player is "nearly there" in his recovery but he also suggested that he could potentially return to Hotspur Way for treatment if it means getting him back on the pitch sooner rather than later.

“We’re working together with Spurs,” said Moore, as reported by Doncaster Free Press. “If it meant him going back to Spurs because it speeds up the recovery process and because of the man power they’ve got there and the equipment then great stuff.

“But he’s nearly there. We’ve just got to make sure that we take every precaution and make sure when he comes back he stays back.

“We missed him two or three weeks and we just thought it was a dead leg. But we’ve checked him out now and hopefully he’ll return soon.

“He’s been there or thereabouts. He came back into training but we’ve taken him back out of training just in case.

“We just don’t want to miss anything. That’s the reason there’s been a lot of confusion with him. Hopefully we’ll know more this week. Could he be involved at the weekend? We’ll wait and see."
