Ben Chilwell still nursing with his hamstring injury.

The England international is expected to be out until late December after making five starts and two substitute outings in all competitions.

He suffered a serious hamstring injury in the EFL Cup tie against Brighton & Hove Albion back in September.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino cannot give any positive updates on his return to the first-team.

Chilwell was recently spotted relaxing in Los Angeles away from Cobham training ground as part of his rehabilitation programme.

Pochettino defended the player’s decision and explained it’s not always beneficial for players to train in the same surroundings.

He said: “It was the plan for the club to change the scenario for him because it is a period he needs to be out.

“This happens at different clubs, like (when I was) at Tottenham and Southampton. When there is a long period of recovery sometimes you want to change the scenery for the player.

“To provide, because, to spend 12 hours here every day, it is a fantastic training ground but sometimes the player needs to change the atmosphere to recover in a good way.”
