Joao Palhinha
30-Year-Old
Tottenham Hotspur
Premier
Trains, set for return
Palhinha (concussion) is back in training and is an option for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Igor Tudor.
ANALYSIS
Palhinha was close to making the midweek UCL match after a concussion, and has finally found himself out of protocol, with the midfielder training and now an option. The club then adds back yet another starter to the team as they try to lower the injury list, still with numerous players missing. Palhinha has served between midfield and defense this season, likely to work back into a starting role soon after the injury, with 19 starts in 26 appearances this campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could remain in England
Bayern Munich could transfer Palhinha to another Premier League club if he doesn't stay at Tottenham past this season, according to Bayern Insider.
ANALYSIS
Palhinha is on loan at Tottenham Hotspur, but with the London club facing the prospect of relegation, their future is uncertain. Even if the club doesn't go down, it's not clear that they'll sign Palhinha to a permanent deal following his loan spell from Bayern Munich. If that's the case, Bayern are ready to talk with other clubs in the Premier League to pursue a permanent departure from the midfielder.
