Antonio Conte handed double Champions League boost as two Tottenham players return to training

Antonio Conte has received a double injury boost ahead of Tottenham's huge Champions League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday evening. Both Dejan Kulusevski and Lucas Moura have returned to training ahead of the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Kulusevski has been unavailable for the last three games after picking up an issue while away on international duty with Sweden. The 22-year-old suffered a hamstring injury, which was monitored by the Spurs medical team after he complained of a tightness in that area.

The return of Moura is also a huge boost for Conte, as the Brazilian has been sidelined since August through injury. The forward had inflammation in his tendon and football.london understands that he suffered another setback at the start of the month which left Conte feeling concerned.

"Moura, I'm really worried because he's really far to recover," Conte said after the North London Derby. However, he is now back in training, suggesting that his return may not be too far away. Moura has played just eight minutes of action so far this season, coming on as a late substitute in games against Southampton and Chelsea before suffering the injury.

Tottenham could take a huge step from qualifying from their Champions League group if they beat Frankfurt on Wednesday. The two sides played out a drab 0-0 draw in Germany last week.
