Belgian midfielder Mousa Dembele suffered a minor knee injury in Tottenham’s clash against Barcelona. Tottenham coach, Mauricio Pochettino, played down injury concerns after Dembele limped out of during his side penalty shootout defeat to Barcelona in Los Angeles. Son Heung-min and Georges-Kevin N’Koudou scored as Spurs battled back from 2-0 down at half-time to draw 2-2 before they were beaten 5-3 on spot-kicks, with Anthony Georgiou missing from 12 yards. On Dembele, Pochettino told Spurs TV: “Yes, I think it’s minor. Maybe he was a little bit tired, but I think it’s not a big issue.” He also confirmed the injuries in the rest of the squad are not major, but that the issues ruled them out of the clash with the Spanish champions.
