Roman Pavlyuchenko admits he had concerns about the reaction of Tottenham fans last weekend.

Pavlyuchenko is under the guidance of Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink while on international duty with Russia.

Ahead of the World Cup qualifying double-header against Azerbaijan and Liechtenstein, the forward admitted he worried about the reaction of the Spurs fans when he spoke to Hiddink ahead of his side's 1-0 win over the Blues.

He said: "I said hello to Hiddink and had a brief chat with him. I even wished Guus good luck - but then I realised how inappropriate the timing for it was. Thank God the good fortune stayed with my team."
