Tottenham boss Pochettino: Walker-Peters can handle Barcelona trip

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will have no doubts fielding Kyle Walker-Peters against Champions League opponents Barcelona.

Pochettino is facing a major selection headache at right-back ahead of the trip to the Nou Camp with both Kieran Trippier and Serge Aurier doubts for the final group match.

But Pochettino insists he has no qualms in starting the youngster.

“The squad is the most important. Today Kyle Walker-Peters had the responsibility to play. If they [Trippier and Aurier] are not ready Kyle is going to play," Pochettino told BT Sport.

“He is a great player, younger, but he is going to give his best if we need to play with him."
