Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has denied reports his relationship with midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has broken down after failing to play him in either of their two games since the restart.
The Portuguese boss insisted the player was simply not needed in the 2-0 win over West Ham, with the star also an unused substitute in the draw against Manchester United on Friday.
The pair have had a frosty past with Mourinho publicly criticising his performances on a number of occasions and the £65million Frenchman has been continually linked with moves away from the club.
