Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was quick to allay any fears Kieran Trippier might have aggravated an ankle problem against Chelsea.

The Spurs right-back appeared to be in some discomfort as he was replaced by Vincent Janssen during the final stages of his team’s 2-1 defeat at Wembley.

But Pochettino is not concerned about Trippier’s fitness ahead of next weekend’s game against the player’s former club Burnley.

“It is not a big issue. There was only one or two minutes left and we decided to change to Vincent,” he explained.

Pochettino also insisted that Spurs were the better side and did not deserve to lose.
