Good news. Even if he just gets a place on the bench that would lift spirits around the place.
Maybe a Basle away tie would be a good time to re-introduce him if we have a comfortable lead from the 1st leg.
I would put him at right back. The defence will be solid.
The most important thing for him is to get some behind closed doors action to improve his fitness, do some extra work at the end of the season in the gym and then start pre-season in good shape and ready to prepare for a Champions League season.
I'm not even thinking about having him this season. It has been a write off season for him and hopefully he will be more determined than ever to return better than ever.
I think Kaboul and Vertonghen could become the best centre back pairing in Europe.
I certainly don't think we will see anywhere near the best of him until next season.
Given that this season is now over, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you might be on to something.
