Tottenham Hotspur's Toby Alderweireld: Injury was one in a million

Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Toby Alderweireld has told the London Evening Standard he had no idea when he would return from a "one in a million" injury problem.

Alderweireld was stretched off in Spurs' 1-1 draw at West Brom on Oct. 15 after an innocuous-looking clash with teammate Jan Vertonghen and he made his first start in two months in Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Manchester United.

Mauricio Pochettino initially suggested that the Belgium international would make a speedy recovery, after scans showed no ligament damage, but the Spurs manager took to delaying his return on an almost weekly basis.
