Mousa Dembele's ankle injury has Mauricio Pochettino 'a little bit worried'

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino admits he is concerned by Mousa Dembele's "very painful" ankle injury after losing another central midfielder.

Spurs were already missing Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama when they arrived to face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, and Dembele then limped off in the opening moments of the 3-2 victory.

"We don't know [how bad it is] but we are a little bit worried," said Pochettino. "We'll see. I don't want to say anything because we need to assess him tomorrow and on Monday.

"It was a little bit of a shame, not only because we changed the plan after five minutes, but we feel sorry for him and hope it's not a big issue.
