Mauricio Pochettino provides injury update on Jan Vertonghen and defends Dele Alli

Tottenham host Chelsea at Wembley Stadium in London. Jan Vertonghen has returned to training ahead of the clash with Chelsea on Saturday. The Belgium international suffered a hamstring injury which has kept him out of the last nine games but is now fit again. Pochettino hopes Christian Eriksen signs a new deal and stays for a long time at the club. The Spurs boss also defends Dele Alli and says there’s nothing wrong in the video, which shows Tottenham star Alli and Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley at the reception desk of London’s May Fair hotel, shows the pair demanding to be upgraded to the £3,000-a-night penthouse suite. “Isaw, I saw the video. Nothing wrong, nothing wrong. We create a problem when there’s not a problem. I defend and back the player in that situation. It’s a video. Today that is completely unfair,” Pochettino said. “It’s difficult to understand the people doing that. I back them, Dele and Ross Barkley. For me, it’s not a point to discuss. For me no comment. I think it’s nothing that we need to talk about.”
