Tottenham boss Pochettino fears Dembele won't make PSV clash

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino fears Mousa Dembele won't make their Champions League clash with PSV Eindhoven.

The midfielder came off after just six minutes of Saturday's 3-2 win at Wolves with an ankle injury.

He will be assessed before Tuesday's game, with Spurs third in Group B and needing to win to keep their qualification hopes alive.

"We don't know but we are a little bit worried," said Pochettino. "We need to see because we need to assess him on Monday.

"It will be a shame because we hope it's not a big issue.

"It's very painful now but I hope it's not a big issue and he can be with the team again soon."
