In a surprising turn of events, Coach Mauricio Pochettino has found himself on the sidelines for today’s match against Newcastle United.
According to reports from Nizaar Kinsella, Pochettino has accumulated three yellow cards, one each from the matches against Brighton, Burnley, and a peculiar one for pressing Anthony Taylor in the match against Manchester City.
As per regulations, accumulating three yellow cards results in an automatic suspension from the next match, leaving Pochettino unable to direct the team from the sidelines.
Speaking about the suspension penalties, Pochettino shared a light-hearted comment, stating, “My punishment for the suspended players, the latest being Nicolas Jackson, is running.
As for me, I will invite the whole team to dinner because I can’t run.” This humorous take on the situation showcases Pochettino’s ability to maintain a positive atmosphere within the team, even in the face of unexpected challenges.
