​Tottenham deny setback for Wanyama return

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has been responding to reports that midfielder Victor Wanyama could be out for another 14 weeks.

The Kenyan has not played since August due to a knee injury.

Pochettino said it would be a few more weeks before Wanyama was fit again but, when asked specifically if it would be another three-and-a-half months, he said "14 weeks, no, that is not true.

"Victor will have a scan this week and then we will see but it won't be another 14 weeks."
