Jose Mourinho prepares for Aston Villa Clash despite Covid-19 outbreak at Villa’s camp.

Tottenham Hotspurs manager Jose Mourinho is preparing for the clash against Aston Villa in the Premier League despite Villa squad been hit by the Covid-19.

Aston Villa lost 4-1 against Liverpool in the FA cup third round on Friday with a youth team, Mourinho whose side had game delayed last year December against Fulham due to Covid-19 has said it would make no sense for another Spurs league game to be cancelled.

When asked if he thinks the Villa game will go ahead, he replied: “Yeah. Nobody told me that I’m not going to play so [on Monday morning] we start to prepare for that game, and the same Tuesday unless somebody tells us different.”

“I’m always very proud to be in the FA Cup and situations like this, for people who are mad about football, I think it means a lot,” Mourinho added.

“As Tottenham coach, I’m very happy with the players’ attitude, not risking too much, a little cautious, especially the creative guys, but good attitude, win the match as soon as possible, the result done at half-time, and everything is fine.”

Spurs midweek Premier League clash against remains in doubt though.

Mourinho said: “It’s the moment for the Premier League to show leadership, to make decisions. A club like us is trying everything every day to be ready to play, to follow the rules we have in our hands.

“We cannot be punished. If we don’t play against Aston Villa, that will be three matches postponed, and that will be impossible.

“After the season we have the Euros [due to begin on June 11], and of course the Euros are not going to be moved. I believe it is an impossible situation for a club to have three matches postponed, especially if that club plays in Europe.”
