Tottenham's Kieran Trippier could be fit to play against Premier League champions Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday.
The right-back injured his ankle during a pre-season friendly with Juventus on August 5 and missed their opening-day win over Newcastle last weekend.
Pochettino has not ruled Trippier out for the clash against their fierce London rivals, and he remains hopeful ahead of a final assessment for the player on Saturday.
"We are so happy with Kieran and we have one more training session to assess him," Pochettino said.
"He has a chance but first of all we need to assess him again tomorrow, then we'll see if he's ready."
Trippier's fellow England international Danny Rose remains sidelined with a knee injury, as does Erik Lamela with a hip problem.
Georges-Kevin Nkoudou is another absentee with a foot problem, as striker Harry Kane goes in search of his first-ever Premier League goal in the month of August.
