Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino said
he hoped his side could overcome an avalanche of injuries to claim a
first Champions League win this season against CSKA Moscow on Tuesday.
The Argentinian coach is already without
England striker Harry Kane and will now also see Mousa Dembele, Eric
Dier, Danny Rose and Moussa Sissoko sit out the clash in Russia.
“The Champions league is a new
competition for us and it’s important to have a strong squad for it,”
Pochettino told a press conference Monday.
“We’ve signed several strong players to
increase the competition in the team and now despite the injuries we’re
still a competitive side.”
