Harry Winks 'feeling strong' after return to Tottenham training | OneFootball

Harry Winks reveals he is “feeling strong” after making his return to Tottenham training following six months out.

Winks was a key player for Mauricio Pochettino last season but missed the majority of last season after undergoing complex ankle surgery.

However, the 22-year-old is slowly working his way back to full fitness and hopes to be available for Spurs selection in the next few weeks.

“I’m feeling good, feeling fit,” he told the club’s official website. “My ankle is feeling strong at the moment which is good so as long as I manage it well and stay on top of it relentlessly, which I will do, then everything should be all good.

“It’s horrible being injured. Speak to any footballer when they’re injured, watching the game and not playing – it’s the worst thing but it’s part of football, part of the game and you’ve got to deal with it. Whatever happens in the game, it’s the way you bounce back and hopefully it’s going to be a fresh and very good season for me.

“It was really good to get back out on the pitch against Fulham – it’s been a long time coming. I’ve been working hard over the last few months to get fit and get back out there and to do that, play back in the Premier League and see the team win, it’s a great feeling.”

“Obviously I had my operation but other than that, it’s been pretty much the usual routine. Maybe I’m a little bit more relentless in my recovery after training and playing, making sure I’m still mobile and feeling good, but other than that it’s just about putting in the hard work.

“Especially in the Premier League, there’s so much competition so you have to be on top of your game. We have a great squad here and we all do that every week.

“From my point of view, it’s all positive because we’ve got a good mood in the camp, a good mentality going into the season, we’ve got six points out of six so far and hopefully we can have another really good year as a club.”
