Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho has refuted claims regarding his relationship with Tanguay Ndombele.
The Portuguese boss was said to have a problem with the French midfielder, whose fitness he has questioned earlier in the season.
A French report on Tuesday suggested the two had a broken relationship, but Mourinho has denied the claims.
After a win over West Ham United, Mourinho said: "No [there is no problem].
"On the bench was Tanguy, [Ryan] Sessegnon, Toby [Alderweireld], [Jan] Vertonghen, Gedson [Fernandes] and they didn't play. That's football. For me there's nothing.
"You know, it's not just him. I try to do the best for my team. I cannot start the game with 12 or 13 players, I try to do the best for the team.
"Sometimes I apologise to my players that are not my first choice because I feel their work in training deserves something more than I give but I have to do my job the best I can and I felt for these two matches I didn't need him."
