It was reported that Mourinho raised concerns about the return of English football, while he insisted that players need at least one month of training.
However, the Portuguese coach has quashed those claims and admits he wants the league to return as soon as it is safe to play.
"I don't think my position in the meeting has been reflected fairly at all today in media reports. I have not asked for any delay," Mourinho said, in a statement released by Tottenham.
"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.”
"I am extremely proud of the way my players have maintained their fitness - 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 has been 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."
Mourinho’s men will look to overcome their poor run of form when the league resumes as they currently sit eighth on the league table, seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
