Tottenham boss Pochettino set to recall Danny Rose in Dortmund

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino admits he may rest players against Borussia Dortmund tonight but said Danny Rose is in contention to start.

Spurs have already qualified for the Champions League last 16 and need only one victory from their two remaining games to progress as winners of Group H. It means Pochettino is likely to take the chance to rotate his line-up, which could include a start for Rose, who was left out of the squad completely for Saturday’s north London derby.

Pochettino insisted after the defeat to Arsenal that Rose was left out for fitness reasons — amid fresh speculation he is unsettled — but the left-back has travelled to Germany and trained with the squad last night.
