​Tottenham manager Nuno rules out Rodon for Pacos de Ferreira

Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed that defender Joe Rodon will not play against Pacos de Ferreira in the Europa Conference League qualifier.

The centre-back suffered an injury during the warm-down of Spurs' 1-0 Premier League win over Manchester City at the weekend.

The London outfit will also be without star striker Harry Kane for the game, amid transfer speculation linking him with a move to City.

"He had a small problem after the game in the training session we usually do in the stadium," the Portuguese told reporters of Rodon.

"Yesterday he tried but he is not 100 per cent fit so he is not going to play. It is a big disappointment because we want all of the players to get minutes."
