Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that the club’s overseas players were told to remain in London and were not allowed to return to their home during the government lockdown.
While many Premier League clubs including rivals Chelsea allowed their players to return to their home country, Spurs, as a club made the decision to let players remain in London. The Portuguese manager describes this move as protecting both the players and society.
Spurs defender Serge Aurier was seen breaking the government’s lockdown rules three times and Mourinho had to acknowledge that it was the player’s fault. Another Frenchman Sissoko was also caught breaking the lockdown rules. However, Mourinho has praised how the players keep themselves fit throughout the lockdown.
