Video: Jose Mourinho responds when asked if he believes Aston Villa match will go ahead

Jose Mourinho has claimed that he still expects Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League match against Aston Villa to go ahead on Wednesday evening.

The Spurs head coach was posed the question following last night’s 5-0 win against Marine in the FA Cup third round and revealed that he will begin preparations to face Dean Smith’s side today.

Mourinho revealed that he has had no contact from any Premier League official to inform him that the match will not go ahead and will continue to prepare the team on Tuesday until he is told otherwise.

The match is understood to be in doubt after a mass outbreak of coronavirus at Villa, with 10 first-team players struck down with the virus (talkSPORT).
