Pochettino satisfied with injury hit Tottenham squad after late arrivals

Tottenham will be without several players for their Premier League opener against Aston Villa but Mauricio Pochettino insists he is happy with his squad after a successful transfer window.

Dele Alli and new signing Ryan Sessegnon have been ruled out of Saturday's match with hamstring injuries, while defenders Juan Foyth and Ben Davies are sidelined by ankle and groin issues respectively.

Star forward Son Heung-min is set to serve the second of a three-game suspension, leaving manager Pochettino light on options at both ends of the pitch.
