Great to see James Maddison start and Dejan Kulusevski return but how have their bodies reacted physically since the game? Roberto: "I don't know, because in the first three days Maddison didn't work with us, I don't know if he's ready for tomorrow. We can play also with Mathys Tel, we can play with Marmoush, we can play with Gallagher, or we have more solutions considering Pedro Porro can play. Like I said many times, I don't want to take risks, because if you analyse this period of European football, you can see many injuries, not for Tottenham, for everyone. So if I can, I don't want to take risks to lose many players for many games." Kulusevski? Roberto: "Kulusevski also. Kulusevski worked well, but in the first days he stayed individual."
