Mauricio Pochettino insists he has no issue with Danny Rose despite him leaving the defender out of Tottenham's squad for the North London derby.
Rose was not even named on the bench for the 2-0 defeat on Saturday, with boss Pochettino explaining the full-back still needs to regain fitness after nine months out through injury.
But, since making his comeback off the bench against Real Madrid last month, Rose had been in the squad for all five of Tottenham's previous matches, twice starting and three as a substitute.
He also then started for England against Germany over the international break before coming on late against Brazil.
