BREAKING: Mauricio Pochettino responds to Real Madrid links and provides injury updates

Tottenham Hotspur take on Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City on Monday night at Wembley and will be looking to put in a performance to get their confidence back after their Champions League disappointment in midweek. Ahead of the game, Mauricio Pochettino faces the press. Poch on Dele Alli Yes, I think it’s good news but we need to be careful because he was re-injured against Watford after his first injury. Now we need to be careful. We are happy that he started today with the group. Yes, sure we hope he will be available for Monday but not sure if we’re going to put him in the squad or not. Poch on those Real Madrid links Look, like I said before in the question about Hugo, because I’m in a different country my English is not so good and I don’t follow too much the media. It’s compulsory to know before I come in here because Simon explains everything that’s happened in two minutes as we come here. I have a surprised face and say ‘yes? yes?’ and sometimes Jesus explains something but because I am not too much involved in social media because I don’t have social media, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, nothing, I don’t receive information. That’s why my head, my face, I look younger than I really am. Stuff like that happens in football. You can not change anything. It’s normal in this business. Poch on playing City at Wembley 24 hours after the NFL game No, maybe it’s good for us because we’re going to face one of the best teams in Europe or in the world. (Laughs) No, it wasn’t the plan for us to play at Wembley in that period. That is the problem and now we can’t complain. Only we need to accept the reality and the reality is that we cannot change that and hope that the weather will be good and not kill the pitch and we can play in a very good condition. Sure that everyone involved in caring for the pitch will work so hard to try to put it in a very good condition. That is my wish and I hope that it happens.
