Tottenham Hotspur: Mauricio Pochettino Fears Star’s Season Is Over

But despite taking a 2-0 lead against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on the penultimate day of the season, Tottenham stumbled and left west London with only a point, handing Leicester an unlikely title.

11- GOAL! SWANSEA 1-0 SPURS (ROUTLEDGE) Spurs press so well to push Swansea back from a corner but Fabianski’s kick causes havoc in the defence and Ayew gets away from Davies.

The manager said: “We hope there is no big issue but it’s true that it will be hard for him to play again this season”.

“As the season goes on and things adjust due to results people soon forget that everyone gave us no chance of even being in the division, let alone anything else and now we’re doing what we’re doing”, said manager Sean Dyche.

With an FA Cup semi-final to play against Chelsea on April 22, Pochettino is pleased with the squad’s collective effort. Not quality, running or being powerful but belief, religion and fight.

Speaking to Swansea’s club website, he said: “It will be unusual playing against Spurs as I had been there since I was eight”.

Spurs could reduce the gap further if they win at struggling Swansea on Wednesday and Chelsea drop points at home to Manchester City, but Lloris is still looking down the table.

Over half of his 25 starts came in the Europa League and he had various loan spells, including a successful stay at Swansea in the 2014-15 season, to gain first-team experience.

Revamping a beleaguered Tottenham and altering their system, he returned to the bench unusually early alongside his assistant Jesus Perez, leaving his players to contemplate the task ahead.

The Argentine will still be without striker Harry Kane, fullback Danny Rose and midfielder Erik Lamela for the trip to Swansea, while youngster Harry Winks could be out for the season after injuring his ankle at Burnley.

“All Tottenham can do is put the pressure [on Chelsea]”.

“They will want to win here and we need points too“, Clement added. “It was a very concerning moment but the reaction was really good”. Burnley are very respected in the league. A huge stroke of luck for Spurs as the ball is deflected after a shot from Eriksen and Alli has an open goal. We need to be better than Swansea.

“When we played against Liverpool, we arrived into the game in two different ways”.
