An emotional Antonio Conte opened up on the COVID outbreak at Hotspur Way to BT Sport this week, speaking before the training ground was closed down.

Speaking before the closure, Conte claimed the situation was very serious and extended beyond football, asking why he should risk going home and infecting his wife and daughter.

Spurs Web Opinion:

I completely agree with Antonio and I’m glad the club, UEFA and the Premier League followed suit. Asking players to risk spreading the disease to their families would be putting football above basic humanity.
