Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has apologised to Rochdale after he claimed their pitch was "not in a condition to play football" and posed a "massive risk" to his players.
Spurs, who turned in a tremendous fightback to draw 2-2 with Italian champions Juventus in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash earlier this week, will head to the more humble surroundings of Rochdale's Crown Oil Arena in the Emirates FA Cup on Sunday.
Pochettino had expressed his concerns over the turf at the League One club but they have since spent £500,000 re-laying their pitch to ensure the surface is ready for the visit of his high-flying Premier League side.
