Pochettino hopeful over Mason

Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino is hopeful Ryan Mason will be fit for the Boxing Day trip to Leicester.

The 23-year-old midfielder has established himself in Pochettino’s side in recent weeks but was forced off during Saturday’s 2-1 win over Burnley with a twisted ankle.

But Pochettino revealed the issue is not as bad as first feared and is now in contention for the game at the King Power Stadium, as is striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who has not featured since early November.
