Kieran Trippier has reportedly not travelled to Germany with his Tottenham Hotspur team-mates.
According to Football London, Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that Kieran Trippier has not travelled to Germany for tomorrow’s Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.
Tottenham made the trip to Dortmund this afternoon as Pochettino’s side look to protect a 3-0 first-leg advantage at Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday evening.
Trippier kept his place at right-back for Spurs’ 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Saturday, despite his horrendous own goal at Stamford Bridge last week.
And according to Football London, Pochettino hasn’t brought him to Dortmund because he needs more time to recover after playing back-to-back games.
Serge Aurier, an unused substitute in both London derbies over the past six days, is likely to displace the former Burnley man against the Bundesliga leaders.
Some Tottenham fans might feel a tad relieved over Trippier’s absence.
Despite their 3-0 lead, Pochettino’s side can ill afford any weak links tomorrow evening and the England international has been somewhat erratic this season.
