Toby Alderweireld won’t\u00a0be out as long as was first feared or that’s what Mauricio Pochettino indicated.\u00a0A scan was carried out\u00a0yesterday<\/a> with the news seemingly more positive:<\/p>\n “We believe it’s not a big issue. It’s a very heavy knock on his leg and now we wait for the result of the scan. It was this afternoon and we’ll see after what happened.”<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n There must be some grounds for optimism; I just hope it isn’t false hope.\u00a0Eric Dier is the obvious replacement and he will be in the centre of the defence tonight in Leverkusen.<\/p>\n Son Heung-min is the centre of attention, returning to the club where ‘he made his name’. The press asked the obvious questions, he gave the obvious answer.<\/p>\n More of Saturday’s resilience will be needed tonight, without the laxness which allowed Albion to take the lead. This isn’t a ‘must-win’ game but I do think it’s a ‘must-not-lose’ if we want to progress to the next round. And that outcome is something we are eminently capable of achieving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Toby Alderweireld won’t\u00a0be out as long as was first feared or that’s what Mauricio Pochettino indicated.\u00a0A scan was carried out\u00a0yesterday with the news seemingly more […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":890,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[183,177,7],"tags":[186,193,163],"class_list":["post-888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-champions-league","category-injury-news","category-tottenham-hotspur","tag-champions-league","tag-toby-alderweireld","tag-tottenham-hotspur"],"yoast_head":"\n
