Fit-again Serge Aurier out of Tottenham Hotspur clash against Ajax

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed Serge Aurier’s recovery from injury but ruled him out of the return leg of their Uefa Champions League semi-final match against Ajax.

Aurier has been on the sidelines since March after limping off in Cote d'Ivoire's 3-0 win over Rwanda in their final 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match.

His last outing for Spurs was during their 1-0 win against Borussia Dortmund when the London club marched through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

This season, Aurier has struggled for form in Mauricio Pochettino's team, making just eight Premier League appearances so far.
