MAURICIO POCHETTINO has been putting his players through their paces in training — after insisting “it’s impossible” for him to manager Barcelona.
The Tottenham boss has been directing their final training session before the big game at Wembley Stadium tomorrow night.
Mauricio Pochettino took training ahead of Tottenham’s game against BarcelonaEPA Harry Kane gets into his warm-up for the training sessionEPABut the club also confirmed the news that a host of top stars are out of the game against the La Liga champions.
Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen, Serge Aurier and Mousa Dembele are all OUT of the Group B match.
Luckily for Pochettino, Hugo Lloris is back to start for the first time since their 3-0 win at Manchester United, while Harry Kane is hoping to stay fit and firing.
But the former Espanyol boss has rejected claims he could be set for a move to their Catalan rivals after he leaves North London.
The Argentinian said: “It’s something that is more than understood.
“I have a lot of friends in Barcelona, who are from the Blaugrana and to whom I have enormous respect, but my path and that of Barcelona are different, opposite directions, and coaching there would be impossible.
“[Facing Barcelona] motivates me being a periquito [Espanyol fan] and living so many years in Barcelona.
“Going back to the city is always nice and playing against Barcelona, too. It is always motivating.”
