Mauricio Pochettino has no concerns about Tottenham potentially playing their opening games away from home next season.

Tottenham are likely to ask to play their first few matches on the road next term as a contingency plan in case their new stadium is not ready in time.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy last week told the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust that the club are set to make the request, although he said he remained confident the 62,000-seat stadium construction would be completed on schedule.

Boss Pochettino is also optimistic Spurs will be in their new home for the start of the season, but he is unfazed by any potential fixture switches.

"It's true that we need to wait, because still there is nothing confirmed," said Pochettino.

"But if we need to play maybe away from home for the first few games, that won't worry me.

"I still believe we can arrive on time at the stadium from the beginning. But if it's not possible then of course we are going to decide if we can play away from home.

"But it is so early to say anything because we need to see what is happening with our new stadium.

"The most important thing is for our fans, the team and everyone to be in a safe stadium. For me that is the most important thing because then it is a stadium that will be there forever."

West Ham played their first three Premier League matches this season away from home - losing all three - due to the World Athletics Championships being held at the London Stadium.
