I was not involved, Pochettino said. That was the doctors decision. Its so important that the rules and the protocols are there. Our medical staff followed the protocol. I was never involved.

In this moment you are focused on the game and it is difficult to think too much, Pochettino continued. You must let the doctor or the medical staff do his job. For me the most important thing is the health of the player before the game.Both Vertonghen and Alderweireld required medical aid after their collision, with the former’s face covered in blood. Spurs’ physios appeared concerned as they led him around the pitch perimeter after four minutes of treatment.5

In the first half, Vertonghen and Alderweireld collided when attempting to head the ball, though the latter played on. Vertonghen, however, suffered concussion

He received lengthy treatment on the pitch by medical staff and was escorted from the pitch before his reintroduction to the game

Vertonghen didn’t last long, though, and decided to bring himself off moments after returning to the pitch where he was aided by Pochettino

He changed out of his blood-splattered shorts and shirt and play was halted to allow for him to re-join the action. However, Vertonghen lasted just a few minutes before indicating he could not carry on and play was stopped to allow him to leave the pitch.On the touchline his right leg buckled and Pochettino jumped in to steady him.5

Donny van de Beek celebrates Ajax’s vital away goal

UEFA guidelines leave the question of a players fitness to continue after a head injury in the hands of the clubs doctor. The referee had consulted with Tottenhams medical team to check whether Vertonghen was able to resume but it quickly transpired that he was not at all well as he appeared to retch in full view of the fans and those watching on TV soon after being substituted.On his team’s first leg loss, Pochettino said. The team didnt show the energy that we wanted. Ajax showed more energy than us. The way that we conceded the goal was so painful.
