Tottenham Hotspur duo Moussa Sissoko and Victor Wanyama are injured at the moment.
Sissoko suffered a knee injury during Tottenham’s recent pre-season friendly match against Barcelona.
Wanyama recently suffered a knee injury during training, but Spurs manager Pochettino has suggested that the duo’s issues are not major.
Pochettino told The Express regarding Sissoko: “Yes, I think it’s minor. Maybe he was a little bit tired, but I think it’s not a big issue.”
The Tottenham boss added about Wanyama: “Victor in the training session before Roma. I think it was the same problem as last season in his knee.
“Of course Tashan and then Kazaiah, Lamela of course that is minor, but they cannot be involved in the game.”
Positive news for Tottenham Hotspur
Wanyama is a key figure in the current Tottenham team, and the Kenya international defensive midfielder will play an important role for the North London outfit this season.
While it remains to be seen if the 27-year-old – who earns £70,000 per week as salary, according to The Daily Star – will be ready for the start of the season, that Pochettino does not seem to be too concern about his injury suggests that he will not be long.
Sissoko has yet to fully convince himself at Tottenham, but the former Newcastle United midfielder will have a part to play for the North London this season.
