Danny Rose has told Sky Sports he was "fuming" to be left out of the Tottenham squad for Saturday's North London derby at Arsenal but he denied suggestions of a rift with manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Rose was not included in the travelling party for the 2-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium last weekend and instead trained with the reserves at Hotspur Way, the club's Enfield base, in what Pochettino described as a move to build-up his fitness.
After the game, Pochettino dismissed suggestions of a fresh row with Rose -- who was fined two weeks' wages in August for criticising the club's wage structure and transfer policy in an explosive newspaper interview -- and the left-back returned to the team for Tuesday's 2-1 Champions League win at Borussia Dortmund, completing 90 minutes.
