Spurs will be without Eric Dier, Harry Winks and Serge Aurier when they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday. Dier suffered a groin injury in England’s 5-0 win over Czech Republic last week and was forced to withdraw from Gareth Southgate’s squad for their visit to Montenegro.
“He [Dier] has been ruled out. It’s not a big issue but he needs to recover from the problem he suffered against the Czech Republic with the national team,” Pochettino said. “One week, 10, days, two weeks. We’ll see how it is going to improve. He was running today but we need to wait for the evolution [of the injury]. Him, Harry Winks and Serge Aurier are going to be out for the weekend.”
Rafael Benítez has said Fabian Schär will be treated carefully after he played on for Switzerland despite having been knocked unconscious, though the Newcastle manager treaded carefully when asked if he thought the Swiss national team had been at fault.
We take these things very, very seriously and we tried to do what we have to do. He had the test over there and then he had another test over here and then we try to be sure that he is fine, and it’s okay, so I will not create something really important for that. We take care of that, we try to do the right things and we did it. We did it with [Aleksandar] Mitrovic in the derby when we came here and he didn’t play. We control these things if we can, but that’s it. It’s important not to say too much. We know what we have to do and we did it, and that’s it.”
