Involved in partial team training Lavia (ankle) was involved in partial team training Monday but is still not yet ready for a return, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino. "Lavia no, he's still not ready." Impact Lavia continues to progress on his rehabilitation, returning to partial team training, but is still not ready for a return, as he looks to be sidelined for another couple of matches. It is difficult to say if the midfielder will return before the new year with only three contests until then, but it is most likely the team will not rush the player back after such a long absence. If he does return within those three matches, expect him to only be a bench option, as he is given some minutes to test his leg after such a serious knock.
