“While I’m not happy that I didn’t participate, I’m very proud to see the boys continue the war without me. The fighting spirit I’ve noticed in the last 3 matches has given me a well-deserved boost.
“I will be doing whatever I can in whichever ways are possible to help the gaffer and the club. In what capacity that is remains to be decided as I’m due to meet with specialists in the new year.”

Rodrigo Bentancur did a wonder early on his return to the Tottenham squad against Bournemouth today.
His return bolsters the characteristics of Spurs’ midfield and could have an effect on their January plans, as it could make them more willing to sell Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg if an offer comes in for him.
Juventus are closely linked to Hojbjerg, who sent Bentancur back to the bench.
On Bentancur’s return, Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou said: “It’s great. He had a smart week of education with us and I had a smart chat with him and he was actually looking forward to coming back. “
“Having new legs in midfield with him and Gio (Lo Celso) will help us. “

Mauricio Pochettino claims he will be concerned about Chelsea’s moves in January and that the conversation between him and the club remains positive.
Pochettino will have a say in goal selection alongside influential co-owner Behdad Eghbali and sporting co-administrators Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart.
Chelsea are doubtful whether they will target a striker and centre-back when the window opens on January 1.
Asked if he would have a say, Pochettino replied: “I can’t conceive the idea of not being involved. “
“It’s just my advice,” he added. It’s about sharing it after six months with the owners and sporting directors.
“It’s a very clever communication. We communicate every day. Of course, the resolution we are going to make is due to the fact that we are all in agreement.
“If we find something we want to improve, then we’re more than open. We are very analytical and at all times we analyse ourselves to help the club in the most productive way imaginable. “
