Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino says that Lucas Moura is likely to start the FA Cup fifth-round tie with Rochdale.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he has been impressed with Lucas Moura's efforts in training since his arrival in North London.

During the January transfer window, Moura left Paris Saint-Germain to pen a long-term deal with Spurs but so far, the Brazilian has only been used as a last-minute substitute in the Champions League encounter with Juventus.

However, Pochettino has admitted that the attacker is in line to start Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round fixture with Rochdale at Spotland.

At a press conference, the 45-year-old told reporters: "Yes, we're thinking of maybe giving him the possibility to start the game. We're thinking, it's in our head.

"He's working very hard, we're pushing him. Yes, we need to assess him tomorrow and see how we can do. But we are so happy with him and the way that he is working. Maybe he has the possibility."

Moura is yet to make a start in a competitive match this season.
