Andros Townsend has been fined and banished from the Tottenham squad for tomorrow’s game with Anderlecht after his clash with a club fitness coach.

Townsend was seen grappling with Nathan Gardiner during the warm down after Monday’s 3-1 win over Aston Villa and head coach Mauricio Pochettino confirmed he would not be considered for the Europa League tie at White Hart Lane.

Pochettino did not say whether Townsend would be brought back for the derby at Arsenal on Sunday and was clearly unimpressed with the winger’s behaviour, although Pochettino said Townsend recognised his mistake.

He said: “Because of [the incident on] Monday, he is not available for selection. When you behave in the wrong way, you always need to pay. Discipline is very important to me.

Player Ratings: Tottenham vs Aston Villa 13 show all Player Ratings: Tottenham vs Aston Villa 1/13 HUGO LLORIS: 6 Had very little to do aside from one cracking save from Sinclair early on. Also guilty of one nervous moment but was a safe pair of hands for the most part. Getty 2/13 KYLE WALKER: 6 Far from convincing when Sinclair ran at him with pace, but pushed forward well and also and was involved in some encouraging defensive work. Getty 3/13 TOBY ALDERWEIRELD: 7 Dealt with Agbonlahor's pace and passed with precision. The central defender has settled into life at Spurs and has proven to be their best summer purchase. 4/13 JAN VERTONGHEN: 6 Largely untroubled, but a composed presence when called upon. Gestede's physical proved to be a problem as Vertonghen struggled to contain the striker's aerial presence. Getty 5/13 DANNY ROSE: 7 Claimed an assist early on, which appeared to give him a confidence boost. Gave his opposite number Hutton plenty of problems and bombed forward at every opportunity. Withdrawn through injury. Getty 6/13 DELE ALLI: 7 Although it initially threatened to be a quiet night for the teenager, he made his presence felt with a composed finish just before the interval. Unfazed and oozing confidence. Reaplced by Josh Onomah, who made his Premier League debut, late on. Getty 7/13 ERIC DIER: 6 A reliable, if not remarkable, contribution. Had little defensive work to do as Spurs controlled possession but also proved, once again, he is capable in attack. Getty 8/13 MOUSA DEMBELE: 8 The Belgian took his goal well early on as he bulldozered past Ciaran Clark and finished confidently. A peg that can fit several holes; the midfielder is enjoying a rich vein of form. Getty 9/13 CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN: 6 His set piece delivery was not as impressive as we know it can be, but his ability to spot runs and makes space is invaluable to the Spurs front line. Getty 10/13 ERIK LAMELA: 6 Worked tirelessly for the team but had little end product to write home about. Flied into tackles like they were his last. Getty 11/13 HARRY KANE: 7 The striker did not have the luxury of many sights of goal but ran his socks off for the team's cause. Deserved his goal. Getty 12/13 RYAN MASON: 4 Given just over 20 minutes to build some much needed match fitness. The midfielder dwelt on the ball and conceded possession in his own half, which led to Villa's goal. Getty 13/13 BEN DAVIES: 5 Brought on to replace the injured Rose to shore things up and coped well during a frantic finish.

“We have a young squad who can make mistakes but when you cross the limit it’s important to stop that. Sometimes when you don’t play as much as you expect, I can understand it, but it’s not the way to impress the manager.

“He needs to learn about football, which isn’t just playing the game. He needs to learn about behaviour, discipline. You need to have the responsibility of a professional.”

“If Andros Townsend is in the squad, it means we believe in him and that he can give us good things. After that, it is up to the player to show me I am wrong.”

Heung-Min Son is back in the squad after a foot injury for the first time since the 4-1 win over Manchester City on September 26.
