Spurs picture special: Lo Celso, Parrott and Sessegnon train ahead of Red Star Belgrade clash

Tottenham Hotspur return to Champions League action on Tuesday night.

The north London outfit welcome Red Star Belgrade to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium three weeks after suffering an humiliating 7-2 defeat by Bayern Munich.

That result hasn't dented the Lilywhites' hopes of reaching the knockout stages, but they'll want to get back to winning ways following a loss to Brighton as well as a draw against Watford either side of the international break.

Although, Mauricio Pochettino insists there is no pressure on his side despite that loss against Bayern.

"Yes but there is no pressure on the team," the Argentine said during his pre-match press conference. "They need to feel they have the freedom to play and I have said that the most important thing is that the players feel the freedom and perform.

"Because against Watford we made a mistake and we were punished and we conceded as we did against Brighton, but that happens in this type of period.

"The most important thing is to understand that we need to give our best, be solid and be strong and focused and concentrated, because when all the circumstances are against you, the most important thing is to be strong.

"You need to expend more energy. Yes we know the situation is all about games and time, be solid, train, never give up, and be focused on your work and improving.

"And be able to win.

In terms of team news, Pochettino has virtually a fully fit squad to choose from.

He was handed a triple fitness boost ahead of training with Christian Eriksen, Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon being declared fit to take part in the session.

The rest of the Spurs squad including the likes of Harry Kane, Troy Parrott and Son Heung-min were put through their paces at the club's training base in Enfield on Monday afternoon.
