TEAMS: Kyle Walker makes Spurs return as Andros Townsend gets nod for Besiktas clash
KYLE WALKER makes his long-awaited return to the Tottenham first team against Besiktas tonight after nine months out with an abdominal injury.
Kyle Walker is back in the Spurs starting XI
Walker last made a competitive appearance for Spurs in their Premier League clash with Hull on 13 March.
He is one of 10 changes to Mauricio Pochettino's side that drew with Crystal Palace on Saturday, due mainly to the fact they have already qualified for the knockout stage of this season's Europa League.
Michel Vorm replaces Hugo Lloris between the sticks, while Vlad Chiriches, Younes Kaboul, Danny Rose come into the defence.

Subs: Lloris, Lennon, Lamela, Fazio, Capoue, Davies, Onomah.
