Tottenham full-back Kyle Walker is hoping to mark his Tottenham return against Beşiktaş in the final Europa League Group C game.

Walker has spent the last nine months out injured but rejoined first team training last month.

“It has been a difficult long-term injury to cope with, both mentally and physically,” Walker told ITV.

“I have had to dig deep. Luckily I have had my team-mates and family around me to help me through,

“I never thought it would happen to me, but I feel perfect now.

“I am fit and I feel fresh and ready to go. Hopefully all my injury problems are behind me now.

“You can never say never, but I like to think they are so I can move on to help Spurs and England and get my career back on track.”

Walker is expected to either start or receive playing time against Beşiktaş in Istanbul.
