PIERRE-EMILE HOJBJERG has forgiven Josh Dasilva for his horror tackle on Tuesday night.
The Tottenham star was left with a gruesome gash on his leg after he was clattered by the Brentford ace during the Carabao Cup semi-final.

Dasilva, 22, lost control of the ball before he lunged into Hojbjerg, 25, with his studs raised.
After the incident was checked by VAR, the Bees star was shown a straight red card.
Dasilva later took to social media to insist he never meant to hurt the Spurs midfielder.
He wrote: “Anyone that knows me, knows it was never intentional.. will learn from this.”
And Hojbjerg replied with a classy message to clear the air with the former Arsenal youngster.
He said: “Of course you didn’t mean it. So don’t worry.
“I’m a viking and I am fine. But… You owe me a new shin pad.
“You have a great future ahead @joshdasilva_.
