Toby Alderweireld has not started a Premier League match for Tottenham Hotspur since the end of October.
Granted, a hamstring injury has seen the centre-back, who is valued at £36m by transfermarkt.co.uk, miss a lot of football this season, but he has returned to fitness in recent weeks.
Speculation surrounding the 29-year-old’s future continues to gather pace, with the centre-back’s contract at Tottenham due to expire at the end of next season.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has claimed on a number of occasions that Alderweireld is currently not fit enough to feature in the Premier League, but he was named in the Belgium XI against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday night.
The former Atletico Madrid defender played the full 90 minutes for his country, but is not expected to be involved against English champions Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend, with Davinson Sanchez due to start alongside Jan Vertonghen once more.
The situation is confusing a number of Tottenham fans, and many have expressed their feelings on Twitter:
