‘We accept the charge’ - Mauricio Pochettino reveals Tottenham will NOT contest Moussa Sissoko violent conduct charge

Tottenham have no plans to contest the Football Association’s violent conduct charge against Moussa Sissoko, with manager Mauricio Pochettino expecting the French midfield to receive a three-match ban.

Sissoko has been charged by the FA for his off-the-ball elbow of Bournemouth's Harry Arter that was missed by officials in Saturday's goalless Premier League draw at the Vitality Stadium.

The £30million summer signing from Newcastle should now be banned for Tuesday's EFL Cup tie at Liverpool and Premier League matches against Leicester and bitter rivals Arsenal.

Spurs have until 18:00BST on Tuesday to respond to the charge, but Pochettino revealed the club will not contest the potential suspension.
