Danny Rose visited Mauricio Pochettino's house and had dinners with Gareth Southgate as he struggled through his eight-month injury nightmare.
Rose made his first Premier League appearance since January 31 against Crystal Palace on Sunday after recovering from a knee injury that required surgery in May.
He said 'there are no words' to describe the frustration he felt on the sidelines and his future was thrown into doubt in August, when Rose criticised the club's approach to transfers.
However, Rose made a public apology and appears to have been forgiven by Pochettino, who handed the defender his come-back appearance as a substitute last month, in the Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid.
