It's time for a new episode of Talking Tottenham with our Spurs correspondents Alasdair Gold and Ryan Taylor
Igor Tudor needs help at Tottenham Hotspur and the cavalry finally appears to be riding out of the treatment room.
The Croatian came into a tough situation at Spurs in taking over from Thomas Frank and inheriting a squad of just 13 fit outfield players for his first game against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon. While Tudor's men went into the break level at 1-1, their north London rivals ran away with the game in the second half to record a 4-1 victory and end the 47-year-old's run of winning his debut game at his previous five clubs.
Tudor will have been buoyed though by the return to training this week of right-back Pedro Porro and central defender Kevin Danso, who will give him natural defenders in the backline after having to crowbar Joao Palhinha and Archie Gray into it as a centre-back and right wing-back respectively.

Porro in particular will bring a lot to Tottenham's attack as well and provide the likes of Dominic Solanke, Randal Kolo Muani and Richarlison with the crosses and diagonal balls to get the goals to fire Tudor's men up the table from their current precarious spot in 16th.
Our Spurs correspondents Alasdair Gold and Ryan Taylor spoke about the duo's return in the new episode of their podcast Talking Tottenham as well as plenty more about what's going on at the club right now and what's to come in the week ahead.
