Kyle Walker

Who knows whether he would or wouldn't. But I dont think he'd say he's had a good recovery knowing he was screwed. Your assumption is based on him not providing an approximate date for recovery, he doesnt have to do that-nothing wrong with managing expectations....
 
Lol it's almost like he knew the fans would be bricking it after Poch's interview. If he's working in the gym and feeling fit then I guess it'll be 2-3 weeks before he starts training and another 2 before he's available to play
 
Panic stations much?

Comments from Poch seem perfectly fine. In theearly days for Kaboul and Sandro's injurie, to mention two of our players that have struggled significantly in recent years, there were return dates.

If this gets people jumping to conclusions about him being ****ed then there's essentially nothing Poch can say that won't make people jump to those conclusions I think. No wonder the club prefers to keep quiet.
 
Walker or/and Yedlin in, sell Chricihes, move Dier back to 4th choice centre back option. Easy!! Made money, strengthened the squad!!

Now we just need to loan out Bentaleb and bring in Morgan.
Sell Paulinho and bring in Rodriguez.
Sell Ade and bring in anyone else... Benteke?!?!

Kyle Walker has set his sights on a return to action for Tottenham as soon as next month.



The England defender has not played a competitive game since the Europa League match against Benfica last March and needed abdominal surgery last month after the problem flared again during Tottenham’s pre-season tour of the United States.

Spurs remain cautious about giving a timeline for a possible comeback but it is believed that Walker is encouraged by his progress and is increasingly optimistic he will be available to head coach Mauricio Pochettino by late November.

After the third international break of the season next month, Spurs face three games in a week. They travel to Hull on November 23 and face Everton at home on November 30, either side of the Europa League fixture against Partizan Belgrade at White Hart Lane.

Walker has yet to resume running but once he does, the club hope he should be able to start working with the first team relatively quickly. Walker’s recovery cannot come a moment too soon as Pochettino sees the 24-year-old as a key element he would like to impose at Spurs.

Kyle Naughton’s ankle injury, sustained in a clash with Ryan Bertrand in the 1-0 win over Southampton last weekend, means Spurs are currently without a specialist right-back. Naughton had a scan on the problem yesterday and there were fears that he would face a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Spurs confirmed today that Naughton damaged ligaments in that tackle but believe the damage is not so bad that he will be out for the long term.

Meanwhile, Nacer Chadli is happy with his decision to stay at Tottenham for a second season despite interest in the summer.

The Belgium winger has scored four times this term and is thriving under Pochettino. He told Belgian newspaper Nieuwsblade: “There was some interest but a transfer was never really there. I never thought to leave.

“At Spurs I wanted to fight for my place, because I know I have a lot of good things to show. The new coach has a different way of training, and that pleases me. Also my role in the system suits me.

“Either I play as a second striker, in support of Emmanuel Adebayor, or on the flank. That depends on the opponent. I find that I have become more efficient.”

Had no idea it had been that long. I guess the fact that we saw him in a pre season game made it seem less.
 
yet to resume running so i think i'll give him like 6 weeks to get fit.

what was his aliment anyway - a hernia ?
 
I think Walker is massively underrated, mainly due to a poor 7 months. What I like the most is he instantly chases back when needed, if he or another loses a ball he sprint back into position. Look at others they take a second to realise they need to get into position while he just does it.

You may say he shouldn't need to do that as its a sign of a poor defender but any attacking full back will be caught out, its what you do after.

True although he hasn't performed as well as he can. Glaring errors against Liverpool and Chelsea aside he is an ok full back.

We do need him but he is also mentally dodgy. I would bring in Yedlin, just in case he has another set back.
 
The more I think about Walker, the more I think IF he returns and has the same speed and stamina as previous, he would take our forward play to another level.

I think the cover he'd give the likes of Kaboul could be immense as well. I suspect Poch can't wait for him to return
