Nacer Chadli: 'Fitness regime under Mauricio Pochettino paying off'

Tottenham Hotspur winger Nacer Chadli believes that his side will cope well in their big month ahead due to the "very good" fitness of every player in the squad.

Nacer Chadli has insisted that Tottenham Hotspur are well equipped to battle on three fronts over the coming weeks due to the intense fitness regime put in place by manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Spurs begin a run of six vital matches in 17 days this evening when they take on Fiorentina in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie, while a League Cup final against Chelsea is also on the horizon alongside a tough run of Premier League fixtures.

Belgian international Chadli is confident that Pochettino's now-notorious training sessions during pre-season will help Spurs during their make-or-break run, as they look to keep their hopes alive of winning silverware this term.

"We have a strong squad with a lot of quality and players, so we can play all those games and compete in every competition," the Daily Mail quotes him as saying.

"We know it has been a problem in the past, but we rotated quite a lot at the start of the season and did quite well so why not now? We improved a lot as a team how to play together and you can see our fitness is very good.

"We almost do not have injured players and you can see that we can fully play 90 minutes with the high tempo and that has helped us in big games."

Chadli has made 29 appearances for Tottenham so far this season, finding the net on 10 occasions.
