Tottenham manager Antonio Conte insists there is nothing wrong with Dejan Kulusevski after the Sweden star was dropped to the bench for Sunday's win over Leicester City.
Lucas Moura started in Kulusevski's place as Spurs ran out 3-1 winners in north London.
Asked why Kulusevski didn't start the match, Conte told reporters: "Sometimes it was a pity because we have only the league to play, and for this reason, you can't make a lot of rotation when... it's not simple to give chances to play.
"I think this week Lucas deserved to have this chance, also because don't forget Lucas Moura is an important player for us and I decided in this way, and then when Deki came in, I think he played really well.
"In the same way, Lucas did in the 55 minutes. I repeat, we have to think about a team, not individual players, if we want to reach something important for this club."
Spurs are now just two points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, who they will face on May 12.
