Mourinho preparing for Aston Villa clash to go ahead
Jose Mourinho is preparing for Tottenham's Premier League clash against Aston Villa to go ahead as scheduled on Wednesday.
After a significant coronavirus outbreak, Villa used youth players in a 4-1 FA Cup loss to Liverpool on Friday.
The outbreak has put their hosting of Spurs at risk, but a postponement would create more fixture chaos for Tottenham.
After a 5-0 FA Cup win over Marine on Sunday, Mourinho was asked when Tottenham's next game would be and the Spurs head coach responded: "Wednesday."
"No-one has told me any different that I am not going to play so tomorrow morning we'll start preparing that game," he added.
"The same Tuesday, unless we're told different."
Spurs are fourth in the Premier League table, four points behind Liverpool and Manchester United.
