Mauricio Pochettino’s press conference today revealed there were two new injuries to add to the endless crisis.
He pointed out that this week had seen nine academy players joining in the first team sessions to cover for absent senior stars, and noted that this had been the case more or less all year.
“We know really, really well the academy players, because they’re training with us every week. Five or more… we have amazing talents in the academy we need to use in these circumstances.”
Well if you know them so well, why not use them from time to time Mauricio?
