Jose Enrique: "It's the first game I missed this year – when I missed the game I was very angry, because I wanted to play.

"I saw the match at the ground. Two games in three days were too much – Tottenham and us were so tired.

"It was the first time this year I've had a problem. I hope to play against Wigan. I hope I'm OK.

"If I'm honest, against Manchester City it was hard. We were 2-0 down, and I tried to go forward all the time.

"I know I do it every game, but I tried against City more. I thought we could draw or take some points, and maybe it wasn't clever to try like that when we had a game two days later.

"My personality is that when we are losing the game, I try not to lose the game. I try my best. When I played against City, I wasn't thinking about Tottenham.

"I work a lot on my hamstring, I don't think I'll have any more problems."
