Pochettino: 'No early return for Janssen'

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has said that he is unaware of any plans for Vincent Janssen to return from his loan spell at Fenerbahce.

A report has suggested that the Turkish side are prepared to send Janssen back to Wembley Stadium as he has made just 11 appearances this season due to injuries.

However, Pochettino has claimed that the Netherlands international is not scheduled to return to North London, while acknowledging that the pair have not spoken in person since the summer.

At a press conference, the 45-year-old told reporters: "When is he coming back? No, he's not coming back. He's injured.

"Maybe you know better than me? But I don't see him since the summer, I haven't met him again. I don't know."

During his first season at Spurs, Janssen scored just six goals in 12 starts and 27 substitute appearances in all competitions.
