Keeps clean sheet in win Davies made a block, three clearances and an interception in Sunday's 5-0 victory against Norwich City. He also took a shot on target in the match.
Impact Davies had to wait until Halloween to make his first Premier League start of this campaign, but he started every single game bar one from there on out as part of the back-three, finishing with one goal, one assist and 11 clean sheets in 29 appearances (28 starts). Davies might be the first to be dropped from the starting XI if Tottenham brings in another center back in the summer -- behind Cristian Romero and Eric Dier -- but the 29-year-old has proved himself to be a very capable squad player during his eight seasons with the club.

Impact Davies returned to Spurs early from the international break for an undisclosed reason, but he'll be back on the pitch from the start on Sunday as part of the back-three.

Withdrawn from international team Davies returned to Tottenham from Wales for an undisclosed reason, the team announced Sunday.
Impact Until the club offers more insight, Davies should probably be considered questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with Newcastle United. In his previous five outings, the central defender has generated 10 clearances, six tackles (four won) and seven interceptions but shouldn't be expected to compile much more than defensive stats, limiting him to mid-range fantasy value at best.

He has started in the back three in all four Premier League games since Antonio Conte took charge of Spurs, keeping three clean sheets and taking 10 of 12 available points. He will be ready for next weekend's clash against Brighton, which have scored just 14 goals in 15 matches this season.

Good to go again Davies (undisclosed) is ready to feature after the international break, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Impact Davies has played just 30 minutes in league action this season, so his return doesn't change much for Tottenham. Most of his usage this season will likely come in European and Cup play after making 14 league starts last season.

Rested in loss Davies was rested in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Italy after starting and going a full 90 in the prior two contests.
Impact Davies went a full 90 in the team's prior two matches and wasn't needed Sunday, as Wales were almost guaranteed to finish second unless something crazy happened. After struggling with injury for Spurs this season, the extra rest should help. The first matchup isn't terrible against Denmark, but it's not like Davies gets up the field a ton at left-back, producing three shots and four crosses in two matches.

Productive during draw Davies took two shots (none on target), put in three crosses (one accurate), and made two blocks during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Switzerland.
Impact Davies also added three interceptions and four clearances as the left-back was involved on both sides of the pitch. He's arguably the best defender in the Welsh side and should have no problem keeping his place against Turkey on Wednesday.

Impact There's just under 10 days to go for the season and since Davies isn't training, there's no reason to expect him back. He's been out since March and would likely need a few days in full training to get back his fitness, as well. Fortunately, Serge Aurier and Sergio Reguilon have remained healthy the last couple weeks.
