Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has described Serge Aurier's omission from their 1-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion as a technical decision which he is happy to have made.
Aurier is said to be fighting for his Spurs future after he reportedly stormed out of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday following his substitution at half-time in their 3-1 loss to Liverpool.
The Ivory Coast defender did not make the trip to Brighton on Sunday and Moussa Sissoko was drafted to the right-back position in his absence.
