LONDON -- Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino says Danny Rose's knee injury is "not a big issue" but refused to put a timeframe on the defender's recovery.
Pochettino was also optimistic about Jan Vertonghen and Erik Lamela, although all three players will definitely miss Saturday's Premier League match at Liverpool.
Rose was replaced with a knee injury in the first-half of Tottenham's 0-0 draw at Sunderland last week and saw a specialist on Monday to determine the extent of the damage, after a club scan was inconclusive.
"He's very positive and we're very positive -- he's happy," Pochettino told a news conference.
