He stated: It's normal. He's tired.
"But I don't believe he has a problem. We need to check tomorrow but I hope there's nothing more wrong than him being tired."
Pochettino also said: Now we are going to play on Tuesday against another very good team in Arsenal. We need to be ready. With the circumstances that have happened, maybe we cannot change too much but I think like Manchester City, they had no time to recover and feel 100 per cent, and the same for us on Tuesday. But I feel happy with the way we are evolving."
