Nabil Bentaleb recalled to Schalke 04 first team

Nabil Bentaleb has been recalled to the Schalke 04 first team after he was relegated to the under-23 team three weeks ago due to disciplinary issues.

The midfielder, who admitted left Tottenham Hotspurs following a series of arguments with Mauricio Pochettino about his play time, had been training with the U23s for the past three weeks after he was asked out of the senior team.

Upon his demotion, there was no fixed time frame for his return to the senior set-up but it appears a consistently positive reaction has earned him his spot back as he is expected to join Tuesday's training.
