“It is not easy for us, it is not easy for all the teams to play after only one day, it’s not simple. You have to manage the situation very well because of the risk of losing players to injuries.”

“We have to pay great attention, especially my team. Don’t forget we had half our squad (out) with Covid… When you get Covid, then you have to live with this situation for two to three weeks after you are finished with Covid.”

Antonio Conte’s side has been missing some players due to Covid and the Italian manager has reported that most of his players are back in training although the disease seems to have taken its toll on the players.

Tottenham boss looks to be very unhappy as his squad is not completely fit and within 48 hours Tottenham will be playing two league matches Crystal Palace and Southampton, raising chances for injuries that the team cannot afford at this stage league contention.
