And in the final moments of the last friendly, Chilwell suffered a knock to his knee that has put his participation in doubt against Burnley. Pochettino explained the situation but failed to hide his disappointment that his injury crisis has grown even larger.

"We still need to assess a few players like Chilwell after playing two games," Pochettino said. "I think he got a knock in his knee. Today, he wasn't ready to train. We will see what will happen tomorrow if he can be in the squad. Enzo (Fernandez) has still not arrived."

"Surprised, not surprised, I don't know," he added. "If he cannot play with us or be available, because he didn't play after Brentford with us. He played a few minutes against Leicester. He started two games. Yeah, maybe, it's a surprise for us. But it's bad luck because he got a dead leg in the last moment of the game against Belgium."

And despite a "disappointed" Cole Palmer unable to get on the pitch for England, Pochettino confirmed that he had returned to training and as long as he comes through Friday's session unscathed, will feature against Burnley.

"I was talking with him, he's a little bit disappointed because he cannot play or perform with the national team," Pochettino revealed.

"The first game he had a small problem and I think he thought he could play against Belgium but he didn't play. Now he is okay and training well. Still one more training session tomorrow but if he responds tomorrow in the same way, he will be available on Saturday."
