Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso return as Tottenham gear up for Fulham fight

The defensive duo were pictured on the club's official website back with the squad this week as preparations intensified for the visit to Craven Cottage. It marks a significant boost for Spurs, who are battling to steady their domestic campaign during the run-in.

Porro has not featured since suffering a hamstring injury in January's 2-2 draw at Burnley. Danso was forced out shortly after, injuring his toe during the 2-0 Champions League victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on 28 January. Both have missed four weeks of action, further stretching a squad that has struggled for consistency.

Spurs head into the weekend just four points above the relegation zone with 11 league matches remaining. Injuries have played a major role in their difficult season, and the return of experienced options in defence will be welcomed by head coach Igor Tudor.

Danso's availability could allow greater balance at the back, potentially freeing up midfield options and restoring some much-needed structure. Porro, meanwhile, will hope the enforced break has refreshed him after an intense run of football stretching back to last season. At his best, his energy and attacking quality from wide areas offer Spurs an important outlet.

Trips to Craven Cottage have not been kind in recent seasons, and Fulham remain capable opponents under Marco Silva. However, with key players edging back to fitness, Spurs will believe they have the tools to compete.

Even a point on the road could prove valuable before an important home clash with Crystal Palace next week, as Tottenham look to pull clear of danger and rebuild momentum at a crucial stage of the campaign.
