Report: Injured Tottenham defender is now back in first-team training 

It appears Tottenham academy defender Alfie Dorrington trained with Ange Postecoglou’s squad prior to the clash against Fulham.

Spurs are without the services of Micky van de Ven at the moment, with the Dutchman pulling up with an injury in the win over Aston Villa last week.

As a result, January signing Radu Dragusin has stepped in and partnered Cristian Romero during the second half at Villa Park and for the clash at Craven Cottage.

That potentially leaves Postecoglou a little short of cover at the back but the Australian has now seemingly been boosted by the return of Dorrington.

Alfie Dorrington is back for Tottenham

The 18-year-old has been out of action for nearly two months after pulling up with a hamstring issue when playing for the club’s Under-21s at the end of January.

In the latest training video released by the club, the teenage defender can be spotted alongside the first team.

This information has been confirmed by Football.London’s Alasdair Gold, who reported last week that Dorrington was back on the pitch after more than six weeks out of action.

Spurs Web Opinion

It is unlikely that Postecoglou will turn to Dorington even if there is another injury at centre-back but the teenager might make the bench on a couple of occasions after the international break, which will be a fantastic achievement for the youngster.
