Tottenham boss Mourinho clashes with Rose over Watford axe

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has clashed with Danny Rose in training.

The Daily Mail says Rose was involved in a heated exchange with Mourinho after being left out of Saturday's game against Watford.

The left-back, 29, sought an explanation from the Tottenham boss after his team had been announced on Friday and Mourinho reasoned that a back injury meant Rose was not in the best shape to figure.

Tottenham drew 0-0 at Vicarage Road, however, believing he was fit to play, an upset Rose took issue with Mourinho again during Sunday's warm-down training session. The two clashed with voices becoming raised and onlookers describing "a big tension in the air".

Some players were understood to be unhappy at how Rose's reaction and behaviour had escalated the situation.
