Tottenham No2 Cristian Stellini says Pedro Porro will be stronger for his debut on Saturday.

Porro featured in Spurs' 4-1 defeat to Leicester City.

Stellini said, "Pedro, we think he was ready to play.

"For sure he's ready to play in this league because he's a great player with experience. We know also it's not easy. Changing league, the type of football you have to play maybe he needs time. He can react with all the team. The team has to help a player like Pedro who arrives now and needs time to play in this type of league."

Goalscorer Rodrigo Bentancur was forced off and Stellini added: "He feels pain at the moment. We know only this but he can walk so it's important to feel that he came back to the bench with his leg [injury] and we hope that we can check in a few days that Rodrigo can feel better and he play soon."
