Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino unhappy with Premier League fixture schedule

Mauricio Pochettino is unhappy with Tottenham’s Premier League schedule.

Spurs’ game with Leicester was moved to Sunday for television purposes, despite the club taking on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Pochettino suggested Premier League bosses are not helping Tottenham.

He said: “It’s not frustration, I think in another country clubs that are involved in Europe always get helped. The league will help you to try and arrive in the best condition.

“You can’t move the fixture because you play in different competitions, okay you can understand but when you have a clean week and can play Friday or Saturday, it’s so difficult to understand.

“You need a minimum 72 hours, but we will have less and how you prepare in these 48 hours with the players that were involved, it’s nearly impossible.

“I think it’s not fair when you compete like this, but we will try to win and perform in the best way.

“But again sometimes the people that go and express their opinion, they need to have all the information because sometimes when the decision is one or another, sometimes we need to manage many things that people need to be aware of.”
