"He will be evaluated today, and we will work out a strategy from there," said Pochettino, who took over on January 2 and has yet to put out a team including the club's biggest star.
Saturday's game will be Pochettino's first at home since taking charge.
"We will have a better idea if he can resume with the group, we are waiting for the results."

Saturday's games take Ligue 1 to the halfway point.
Paris can still take the honorary title of 'autumn champions', if they beat Brest and Lyon lose at Rennes.
