London: Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele could miss Tuesday’s Champions League match against Apoel Nicosia due to a persistent foot injury, manager Mauricio Pochettino said Monday. Dembele, who underwent an operation on his foot earlier this year, was left out of Spurs’ 3-2 win over West Ham United Saturday and has played a limited role this season. Pochettino said Dembele will not need another operation but was unsure how long the 30-year-old would be out of action. “We need to assess in the next few days. We don’t know if it’s possible for him to be available to go to Cyprus,” Pochettino told reporters. “He is doubtful, very doubtful.”
