I'm NOT injured! Sandro left out of Spurs squad against Fulham despite being fit
TIM SHERWOOD has left Sandro out of his Tottenham squad to face Fulham despite him being fit and available.
Sandro hasn't played since Spurs' 2-2 draw with Benfica last month and has missed their last four matches.
And today Sherwood made it five games in a row without the Brazilian, who has taken to Twitter to reveal he is NOT injured.
Good morning Guys, just to let you know that i'm not injured ! Hope that we can win the game today.

"Good morning guys, just to let you know that I'm not injured! Hope that we can win the game today," he posted on his official account.
Tottenham will look to cut the six-point deficit between themselves and fifth-placed Everton when they face Fulham today.
But Spurs fans were quick to criticise Sherwood on social media for ignoring Sandro again...
Sandro tweeted that he's not injured, but isn't in the squad... #SherwoodOut

Tim 'heart, desire and passion' Sherwood loaned out Holtby and is now excluding Sandro, our only players that actually show it.
