Lennon closes on Spurs return

Tottenham Hotspur winger Aaron Lennon may return to Barclays Premier League action this weekend.



The England international has not featured this season following knee surgery in the summer but is back in training and could play a part against London rivals Fulham on Saturday.

"He's had three very good days of training after his period of rehab," Spurs assistant manager Chris Hughton told the club's official website. "He has looked sharp and the priority is that he puts himself in a position to play for us."

"There are players that you rule out completely that will not be involved, we haven't ruled him out. We have to make a decision over the next couple of days."

Centre-backs Michael Dawson and Younes Kaboul are also set to return after recovering from injury. Hughton added: "Both are back in contention after a few days training. To have lost three central defenders at the start of the season was a major blow, so to have two back in contention is a real lift for us."
