"If I play a player against Bournemouth and the player is phenomenal, he plays the semi-final," the former Real Madrid boss said.
"It's an opportunity for people to play and to try to get a place in the team for Spurs.
"Some of the guys that played today (against West Brom) don't have a place in that team."
Pogba is by far the biggest name on a list that the Daily Mail report also includes Anthony Martial, Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind.
