Tottenham boss Pochettino admits Alli, Lloris out of Liverpool clash, but Kane...

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits Hugo Lloris and Dele Alli are out of Saturday's clash with Liverpool.

However, Pochettino says Harry Kane will be fit.

He said, "I think he's fit. I've not read or listened to what's going on around him, the most important thing for me is that he's one of the best strikers in the World. When a striker isn't finding the net people try to find a reason why.

"Harry Kane for us is so important. [There's] No doubt he's one of the best players in England and Europe. Under our assessment he's ready to play, that doesn't mean he will though."

On Alli and Lloris, Pochettino also said, "[Dele] Alli little is a bit unlucky, he suffered an injury after 20 mins against Spain. Disappointed because we're going to miss him for this game and possibly Inter Milan, but it is not a big issue.

"Hugo Lloris will have another scan to see the evolution of his injury and hopefully it will be ok and he will be available again soon like Dele [Alli]."
