Tottenham have been handed an injury boost ahead of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie against Chelsea with three players returning to training.Moussa Sissoko and Victor Wanyama, the midfielders, and forward Lucas Moura were all pictured in training on Wednesday, easing Spurs’ injury crisis.The north London club came into the week with the aforementioned trio all sidelined, along with Harry Kane and Dele Alli who are both expected to be out of action until early March.

Lucas Moura’s return offers Pochettino more options in attack, while Sissoko and Wanyama will be able to provide cover for Harry Winks, who was left as Tottenham’s lone senior central midfielder due to the injury crisis.The trio have returned to training not a moment too soon, with Tottenham in action on Thursday night against Chelsea.Spurs lead their Carabao Cup semi-final 1-0 heading into the second leg, which will take place at Stamford Bridge and can be listened to LIVE on talkSPORT.While Lucas and Sissoko are in contention for the match, Wanyama is expected to miss out and at the earliest will be fit for Sunday’s FA Cup fourth round trip to Crystal Palace.
