Harry Winks has been battling to get back to full fitness after his ankle injury and plenty of Tottenham Hotspur fans have been wondering when the talented young midfielder will return.

The 21-year-old had a superb breakthrough season at Spurs, quickly rising from young bench warmer to a trusted member of Mauricio Pochettino's squad. He made 33 appearances in all competitions, starting 12 matches.

He put in a series of impressive performances and netted his first goal for Tottenham in the dramatic derby against West Ham United at White Hart Lane in November.

However, his great campaign came to an end on April 1, with an ankle injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season and ended his chances of going away with England to the European U21 Championships.

There had been some fears that Winks would not be fit for the start of the season, with photos of him in rehabilitation last week while others were back in full pre-season training at Hotspur Way.

However, football.london understands that not only will the midfielder be ready for the new campaign, he should be fit enough to head off with Spurs on their USA tour, which begins next week, and take part in the matches out there against PSG, Roma and Manchester City.

What kind of season do you think Harry Winks will have this time around? Let us know in our comments section below.
