Tottenham Hotspur defender Lee Young-pyo will return from injury ahead of schedule this weekend for a key English Premier League game.

The Spurs will travel to Liverpool Saturday to face the defending Champions League winner.

In his team's 2-0 win over Manchester City on January 5th, Lee injured his right knee after City defender David Sommeil fouled him.

Sommeil was given a three-game suspension for his infraction.

Lee was expected to miss three weeks, but his injury was found to be less severe than initally feared. The player has also worked hard to rehabilitate his knee.

Tottenham is fourth in the English Premier League standings and Liverpool is third.
