Taricco ready to return

Taricco has been sidelined for the past two months with a groin injury but completed the full 90 minutes for Spurs' reserves on Monday.

"I played another game as well last week, another 60 minutes. I've trained okay for a month now and it's okay, I am ready to play," he told the club's official website.

"I've told the coaches that I'm alright but now, with a big squad, I'll have to wait for my chance."
