Jose's update on Toby Alderweireld

Toby Alderweireld has a chance of making it back into the squad to face Arsenal on Sunday.

The Belgian defender is progressing well after picking up a groin injury late in our 2-0 victory against Manchester City on 21 November.

He trained with the squad on Wednesday ahead of our UEFA Europa League clash against LASK and although he won’t feature in Austria, Jose Mourinho isn’t ruling him out for the latest north London derby.

Speaking after training on Wednesday, Jose reported: “Yes, he has a chance, not for tomorrow, he’s not even an option, he’s not ready, but in his process of recovery, he’s doing very well and there is a chance that he plays.

“Joe (Rodon) played against Chelsea and that wasn’t an easy match to play. Davinson (Sanchez) could play tomorrow, too. We have our options, so if Toby can’t play, we won’t cry, like we didn’t against Chelsea.”
