Tottenham Hotspur have scored just three goals in their last five matches.
Mauricio Pochettino has told ESPN that Tottenham Hotspur are currently having a problem, as they are not getting a chance to work on their attacking play in training.
Tottenham have struggled for goals lately, and they have scored just three times in their last five matches.
Part of the reason for this has been due to Harry Kane’s absence with injury, but Pochettino admits that there are areas where his team need to improve in offensive situations.
However, Tottenham’s EFL Cup commitments, combined with their matches in the Premier League and Champions League, means that Pochettino has not been able work with his team on the training ground much.
And the Argentine boss said: “The problem is we don’t have time to train too much.
“The priority is to rest and recover because we played after the international break, 22 days, seven games. Now we will play our sixth game in 19 days.
“It’s too difficult to train and to work and to improve in some specific work. We can do things, but it’s too difficult because the priority is rest and playing.”
Tottenham’s schedule is not set to relent in the coming days, with Spurs in action again tomorrow evening.
Pochettino’s side are set to take on Bayer Leverkusen, before they travel to Arsenal on Sunday for the North London derby.
Tottenham’s attack should be boosted by the news that Kane is set to return, and could take some part in this weekend’s match at the Emirates Stadium.
