Pochettino supports review of concussion protocols after Vertonghen injury
02 May 2019
Vertonghen collided with team mate Toby Alderweireld while trying to beat Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana to the ball during Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg. “Always in that situation I am open, more than open, to improve the decisions. I think the most important thing was going to be the health of the player,” the Argentine manager told a news conference today.
Vertonghen saw a neurologist today and Pochettino is still unsure whether the centre back will be available for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Bournemouth.
