Tottenham Hotspur fans have been reacting to the news on social media that Toby Alderweireld has been named in the starting line-up for this afternoon’s match against West Bromwich Albion.
The Belgian defender has not started a match for Spurs since the draw at Brighton, however, today is named in a central defensive trio of Alderweireld, Sanchez and Vertonghen with Trippier and Rose as full-backs.
Many had thought that Toby would not start another match under Pochettino due to his current contract deadlock with the club, but will instead get some valuable first-team action ahead of his likely stint in defence for Belgium in the World Cup but who cares about that!
Just get the contract signed, Toby – you belong at Spurs. Here’s a selection of Tweets from your fellow Spurs fans.
