The club have finally been able to call on Christopher Nkunku to play in recent matches.
The Frenchman got had first start in a competitive game for the club in a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
Asked about him post-game, Pochettino stated: He needs to adapt to the team and the Premier League, but he played more than 60 minutes and it was an important step for him.
There were a few combinations that were very good but we need to repeat these actions.
We need him to be more involved but it's normal, it's his first 70 minutes. He needs to play games and he will start to find himself and adapt."
