Tottenham boss Pochettino writes off Janssen

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has ruled out a recall for Vincent Janssen.

After defeat to Manchester United, Pochettino now loses Heung-min Son to South Korea's Asian Cup campaign.

Asked if Janssen could step up, the manager was adamant: "No, he is not in my plans."

On Son, he continued: "Yeah but we cannot change that. That is the risk in any competition, you know.

"In football you cannot avoid the risk.

"Four and a half years we are playing every week and testing the depth of the squad, not only that period, but I never complain and I am not going complain. I think we are going to recover players from injury and I think we are going to find the way to play in the best condition and be competitive like we were competitive in the last four years and a half."
