Trio to return for Spurs

Tottenham should welcome back Rafael van der Vaart (hamstring), Jermaine Jenas (calf), and Younes Kaboul (hip) for Sunday’s match at Aston Villa.

All three missed Spurs’ last game against Chelsea, as did defender William Gallas, who will undergo a fitness test to see if he has fully recovered from the hamstring injury he picked up a fortnight ago.
