The winger was absent from the match-day squad for our second Premier League Summer Series fixture, which ended 1-1 in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta after goals from Nicolas Jackson and Miguel Almiron.

Pochettino insisted there was no major concern over Madueke, who remained in Philadelphia and will be joined by the rest of the first-team squad in the early hours of Thursday morning.

‘Noni is in Philadelphia; he has a little tightness in his hamstring,' said Pochettino. 'It’s not a big thing.

'We also took precautions with Thiago [Silva] and Levi [Colwill] and then we don’t have more possibilities to play with Angelo and Lewis [Hall] because we have three players in the same positions. We can’t play all.

'It’s only Noni that suffers [with an injury] but it is something that we think can be sorted in the next few days.’
