Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Not really - helps their stepchild Man Utd
"Useless" how?
Not a single senior CB available for Leicester.
Just reeks of the EPL prioritising the avoidance of disruption over health & safety.
More muddy reporting..... Talks of illness & covid yet only details injured players (the latter being tough shit).
So....
25 man squad
16 training
= 9 still out.
How many of those 16 are of match-worthy fitness?
Still clear as fucking mud. :grrrrrrrr:

We'll know for sure tomorrow night...
Conte just now...
"We have players positives, surely. For sure some players tomorrow they can’t play. As I said before, players are back in training and today two players are back in training for the first time. Yesterday another player, but as you know well, they need to be fit to play.
Surely tomorrow I’ll put these players on the bench for 15-20 minutes at the end. They have in their legs 20 or 25 minutes.
This is the big problem that we must be good to face in the future. To bring these players affected by Covid to be fit and avoid injuries. This could be the big problem in the future. Not the ten days.
After ten days you have players available but then you have to pay attention to the way to train, whether the body is ready to work in a good way. You have to pay attention, moderate the training to avoid injuries. This is the big problem, not only for Tottenham but for other clubs with Covid-hit players."

Nah, much of this will remain ague at best.
Sounds like both clubs wanted the game off. Surely if that’s the case then don’t turn up. What are the PL going to do?
This.
And I totally understand both clubs going public with their requests and it being rejected. They are hoping to put some pressure on the league now.
I do however think that the TV pressure will win out.
