However, Mauricio Pochettino did not want to confirm whether or not Vertonghen would be fit enough for the Wembley clash, which you can listen to LIVE on talkSPORT.“It is very good news,” Pochettino said in his press conference. “He has been training with the group.“We have to wait until tomorrow to see whether he can be involved. Jan is such an important player for us. “We have a very busy period ahead so it’s important to recover our players.”Vertonghen has been one of a number of players Pochettino has been unable to call upon across the past couple of months.2
