Tottenham acting head coach Cristian Stellini has spoken about the Davinson Sanchez situation.

The defender came on as a substitute in a recent Spurs game against Bournemouth, only to be taken off less than 30 in-game minutes later by Stellini.

While the coach admits that such a situation was tough on Sanchez, particularly with the crowd booing the player, he also believes that his player understood the decision he took at the time.

Stellini told reporters: “Yes, Yes I spoke with Patron. We had a good conversation and of course it is tough for a player to come in and then come out of the pitch.

“It is the type of thing that also happened to me when I was played. It is not the best moment you can live but the type of thing that has to give you a reaction, a good reaction.

“I asked him to have a good reaction, to train well and to do his best. He is a good guy, he understood the moment during the last game, so he accepted the situation."
