Jan Vertonghen did not play for Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the omission of Jan Vertonghen from the team at the weekend.
Spurs kicked off their 2019-20 Premier League campaign on Saturday evening, as they took on Aston Villa at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Vertonghen was a surprise omission from the team. In fact, the Belgium international central defender was not even on the substitutes’ bench and was caught on camera watching the game from the stands.
After the match, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino told BBC Sport that he let the 32-year-old out of the team as he considered Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez better options.
Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to give their take on the current situation of Vertonghen.
Below are some of the best comments:
Back in the team soon?
Vertonghen is 32 years of age, but the Belgian remains one of the best central defenders in the Premier League.
One should not be surprised if Pochettino brings the former Ajax star back in the team soon.
Meanwhile, former Manchester United and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has suggested that Tottenham can win the Premier League title this season.
The Telegraph quotes Mourinho as saying when asked which teams can win the league title this season: “Man City, Tottenham, Liverpool and Man City B team.
“When I looked at the bench [against West Ham], the players not involved, I think the [City] B team could fight for the title.”
