"What can I say about stupid rumors? After five years, I begin my sixth season," the Argentine said at a press conference on Friday. "You know how we work this summer to rebuild because every summer we have built version 2.0, 3.0, now we are version 6.0. Only social networks can create something so stupid."

"I will not leave after Sunday's game. The most important thing is to help the team in the field and make sure that the communication is clear. I hope to extend my life here."

But Pochettino said he was not too worried about the shortage of players.

"It is not a concern, just a problem that we must solve, try to find another solution," said the Argentine. "I am very optimistic… There are no excuses. Whenever one option disappears, another option appears and we will play with 11 players."
