Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly waiting to make a decision on whether or not to start Mousa Dembele in Wednesday's Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund.

Since undergoing a foot operation last season, the midfielder has had to be managed more carefully due to discomfort.

At the weekend, the Belgium international made a cameo 20-minute appearance in Spurs' 3-0 victory over Everton at Goodison Park.

According to the London Evening Standard, Pochettino was planning to keep a close eye on Dembele during Tuesday's training session before making a final decision on his inclusion.

Tottenham face a tough run in Europe as they take on Dortmund, APOEL and Real Madrid in the group phase.
