Tottenham handed double fitness boost ahead of Antwerp and Brighton fixtures

Tottenham have received a double injury boost ahead of their two fixtures this week.

Jose Mourinho's men are back in action on Thursday evening in the Europa League against Belgian outfit Antwerp, and just three days later, they return to Premier League action against Brighton.

Ahead of those games, Spurs have received an injury boost with two players returning to training after missing Monday night's win over Burnley.

Both Steven Bergwijn and Serge Aurier missed Monday night's trip to Turf Moor which yielded three points for Mourinho's men thanks to Son Heung-min's second half winner, Harry Kane once again providing the assist for that goal.

But they have both returned to training ahead of Thursday's clash with Antwerp, pictured taking part alongside teammates on the club's training video which was released on social media today as part of build-up to Thursday's outing.

Both were understood to have missed Monday night's game with small injuries of which they have now recovered from, offering a boost to Mourinho as the busy schedule continues.

The pair's return will only help Spurs who now have a very strong squad to pick from, summer signing Gareth Bale now getting towards full fitness having made one substitute appearance and one start to date.

Spurs have enjoyed a very respectable start to the season, sitting on 11 points from six games in the Premier League, only two points behind Everton and Liverpool at the top.

Mourinho's men also got off to a good start in the Europa League, comfortably defeating LASK last week in their group stage opener, a result they will be hoping to build on this Thursday night.
