Key Tottenham star returns to training after World Cup run ahead of Brentford clash

Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a boost ahead of the return of Premier League football with the return of Croatian star Ivan Perisic. The versatile midfielder played a starring role for Zlatko Dalic's side as they finished third in the World Cup.

Like they did in 2018, Croatia defied the odds in many ways as they reached the semi-final after surpassing Japan and Brazil in the knockout stages. However, they were eventually knocked out of the tournament by the eventual champions, Argentina.
