LONDON (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has played down talk of a rift between himself and full back Danny Rose after the England international was left out of last week's north London derby against Arsenal.
Asked to comment on reports that Rose was "fuming" about his omission from the side at the Emirates, Pochettino said the 27-year-old, who has been linked with a move away from the club, had not been happy but had accepted the decision.
