Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has suggested that Fernando Llorente will play when the North London outfit face Rochdale in the FA Cup fifth round.
Llorente has not featured in Pochettino's first-team squads for the games against Arsenal and Juventus, with January signing Lucas Moura being selected in the Spaniard's place.
However, Pochettino has acknowledged that Llorente needs more senior action and is looking to include him against the League One outfit on Sunday afternoon.
At a press conference, the 45-year-old told reporters: "Yes I think it will be important for him, if he has the chance to play on Sunday.
"Harry Kane after the game, he suffered some knocks and of course it's one of the possibilities to start with Fernando and if he's going to play, it's another possibility to show his quality and of course have more luck than in his last game."
Llorente has made just eight starts in all competitions this season, with his two goals coming against APOEL and Swansea City either side of New Year.
