Harry Redknapp in line for dugout return

Harry Redknapp is reportedly set to return to the touchline when Spurs face Aston Villa on Monday.

The 64-year-old has been absent since the beginning of the month, when it was believed that he would be out of action for around five weeks.

Redknapp's right-hand man Joe Jordan spoke earlier this week of the possibility of a premature return and now reports are surfacing that the Englishman will be in the dugout tomorrow.

Spurs are 12 points off the pace of early Premier League leaders Manchester City but have two games in hand over many clubs in the league.
