Mourinho denies requesting delay for Premier League return

Jose Mourinho is eager for the Premier League to resume and denied any contrary claims.

Premier League coaches participated in a meeting on Wednesday and some bosses are believed to have expressed concern about the return to action.

Yet Tottenham’s head coach has refuted being one of those.

“I have not asked for any delay,” Mourinho said in a statement.

“I want to train, and I am desperate for the Premier League to return as soon as it is safe to do so, particularly now we are seeing other leagues preparing to return to action.”

Mourinho has gotten into trouble in recent weeks after being seen breaking isolation to oversee training sessions with some of his players, but the Spurs boss is delighted with his players’ commitment.

“I am extremely proud of the way my players have maintained their fitness,” Mourinho said.

“They have shown great professionalism, passion and dedication. We have all been working extremely hard through remote squad training sessions and isolated running now the pitches are available to use again at the training centre.

“Every player is extremely committed in terms of their individual work and now we wait for clearance to commence working in small groups again, which I will fully support.”
