Tottenham Hotspur consider recalling Josh Onomah from Sheffield Wednesday loan spell
England Under-21 international Onomah joined the Owls on a season long-loan deal back in August but is currently back at his parent club receiving treatment for a hamstring problem. Onomah suffered the injury in Wednesday's Boxing Day triumph over Middlesbrough and is not expected to return to action until February.
Spurs are short on numbers in central midfield, with Moussa Sissoko and Victor Wanyama currently sidelined by injury while Mousa Dembele has joined Chinese Super League side Guangzhou R&F for £11m.

Asked if there is a possibility Spurs could recall Onomah, Pochettino said: "Yes. Considering."
