Mauricio Pochettino unsure over Kyle Walker return

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has conceded that he does not know when Kyle Walker will return to action.

The England right-back has not featured for club or country since he picked up an abdominal injury during a Europa League tie against Benfica in March.

Recent speculation had suggested that the 24-year-old was close to regaining fitness, but Pochettino has revealed that no date has been set for when the defender will be ready to play again.

"At the moment it is impossible to give you the date. It is a good recovery at the moment. We are happy, but it's impossible to predict the time, when he is maybe ready to train with the team and to start to play," he told reporters.

Walker joined Spurs from Sheffield United in 2009 and he has since gone on to make over 100 appearances for the North Londoners.
