Lucas Moura return date confirmed as Tottenham star to play against Arsenal Under-21s

Tottenham have confirmed that Lucas Moura will return to action for the Under-21s in their Premier League 2 fixture against Arsenal on Friday evening. The Brazilian has endured a nightmare season through injury, featuring in only 11 games for Spurs since August.

His absence due to a tendon issue has impacted Antonio Conte's plans at times as fellow attackers Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison have all spent lengthy spells on the sidelines. Amid question marks over his exact return date given he last featured for the team in November, the club have revealed that he will take to the pitch at Boreham Wood this evening.

Speaking to SPURSPLAY, Tottenham assistant head coach Cristian Stellini has opened up on the player's return, indicating that he will play one half against Arsenal's youngsters in his quest to return to full fitness.
