Tottenham boss Pochettino admits 'painful' Foyth omission

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has left Juan Foyth out of his Champions League squad.

Foyth has been left out of Tottenham's Champions League squad again.

The young Argentinian centre-back was omitted for the knockout stages of last season's competition after Spurs signed Lucas Moura in January.

Foyth – a 2017 summer signing from Estudiantes – was initially in last season's group stage squad and boss Pochettino admitted it was a “very painful" decision to leave him out. Foyth does not qualify for Tottenham's B list for the Champions League group stage because he has not yet been at the club for two years.
