The 32-year-old saw a neurologist on Thursday to discover the extent of the injury, though Pochettino remains in the dark ahead of Saturday’s Premier League trip to the south coast.The Spurs manager said: “Today was his appointment with the specialist and we still haven’t seen the report.“After the game was good, he was more relaxed and felt better. Now we need to see the report from the specialist. “We don’t know [if he can face Bournemouth], we need to wait. That is going to be a decision from the medical staff. We cannot guess now.“We hope it is not a big issue and he is available soon.”The handling of Vertonghen’s injury has been criticised and Pochettino said he was open to a change in football’s concussion protocol rules.
