Report: Tottenham Hotspur left-back Danny Rose was fit to play against Watford despite Jose Mourinho’s injury claims

According to The Athletic’s Charlie Eccleshare, Tottenham Hotspur left-back Danny Rose was actually fit to play against Watford despite boss Jose Mourinho’s claims that he is injured.

The Portuguese told reporters after Saturday’s draw with Watford: “He had a little injury in his back two days ago, and yesterday we made the decision to bring only fit players.

“We knew it was going to be physical, at the same time we knew that Sarr is a runner, and to control a runner not better than another runner.

“So decision was also to bring Sessegnon on the bench in case we needed another winger.
