Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham have shaken off the fatigue from their gruelling schedule as they prepare to face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday. Pochettino was frustrated that Tottenham had to play their Premier League match against Leicester on Sunday, while Dortmund were in action 24 hours earlier against Hoffenheim. “I’ve described before, or in the last few days, that it was a little bit unfair (the schedule),” Pochettino told reporters on Tuesday. Dortmund sits on top of the Bundesliga with a vibrant squad including young England forward Jadon Sancho. And Pochettino expects his side to rise to the occasion in the same never-say-die style they displayed in the group stage this term.
