Robbie Keane will return to Tottenham Hotspur to train with the first team until the start of Los Angeles Galaxy's Major League Soccer season.
The 31-year-old, who moved to the MLS from Spurs last year, is due to train with Harry Redknapp's squad up until January 20.
The striker has been linked with a two-month loan switch to Aston Villa, but it is understood that neither party have initiated proceedings over a potential deal.
Keane's out-of-contract former Galaxy teammate David Beckham carried out a similar stint with Tottenham last year.
