Mauricio Pochettino was back in his happy place as he led the Tottenham Hotspur players out on to the training pitches at Hotspur Way.

Pre-season continues at the club's Enfield training complex and after a day spent indoors for the players on Monday as they went through fitness and medical tests, Tuesday saw them outdoors with Pochettino, his assistant manager Jesus Perez and the rest of the Spurs coaching set-up and staff, including Pochettino's son, sports science staff member Sebastiano.

The football were back at the players' feet and there were also plenty of running drills as the players look to increase their fitness levels for the season ahead.

Among the first batch of players returning are Erik Lamela, Kieran Trippier, Eric Dier, Harry Winks, Kyle Walker-Peters, Lucas Moura, Paulo Gazzaniga, Oliver Skipp, Alfie Whiteman and Ben Davies.

It was announced on Monday that Winks and Davies had signed new five-year deals with the club.

Pochettino also bumped up the numbers in training - with many of his summer internationals absent - by selecting some talented players from the development squad to join in including Troy Parrott, Jack Roles, Harvey White, Anthony Georgiou, Jamie Bowden, George Marsh and goalkeeper Brandon Austin.

Other players will be returning in the days ahead depending on the start date handed to them by Pochettino.

Then there are those who had international competitions this summer.

Victor Wanyama's Africa Cup of Nations journey has ended, as has Juan Foyth and Davinson Sanchez's time at the Copa America with Argentina and Colombia respectively.

The regulatory period off after international duty is 21 days so the trio are likely to return to Hotspur Way while the rest of the first team are on their tour to Singapore and Shanghai.

Then there is Serge Aurier. The Ivory Coast qualified for the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations without their captain, who initially thought he had a torn hamstring muscle, but there is hope he could still be involved for his country in the tournament if they progress.

If the Ivory Coast go all the way and reach the final on July 19 then Aurier would not return to Tottenham until after the Premier League season begins.
