Mourinho Announces Clean Bill Of Health For Previously Injured Spurs Stars

Jose Mourinho has announced a clean bill of health for all Tottenham Hotspur players who were injured before the 2019/2020 season was suspended because of the Coronavirus pandemic.

In the months leading up to Covid-19 disrupting the footballing calendar, the depth of Tottenham’s frontline particularly was stretched to its limits when Harry Kane tore a hamstring in January and was ruled out for four months.

French midfielder Moussa Sissoko was also sidelined for three months with a knee injury while Son Heung-Min and winter signing Steven Bergwijn were expected to miss the rest of the campaign with arm and ankle injuries respectively.

Mourinho’s men endured a rough spell in the midst of the injury crisis, bowing out of the FA Cup and Champions League before they were put out of their misery by the enforced break.

With plans firmly in place to resume the season next month, Tottenham will be reinvigorated by the return to fitness of their frontmen.

"I cannot say in this moment they are ready to play because one thing is to recover from an injury, and another is to be ready to play football," Mourinho told Sky Sports.

"In Harry's case, I think for about five months he hasn't played, but all of them are not injured any more. They are training, and training is what it is at the moment, training has a lot of limitations.

"We cannot compete, we cannot do one versus one, we have to keep a certain distance, we cannot compete.

"Harry Kane, Son, Bergwijn, [Moussa] Sissoko, all of them are fine. I think with a couple of weeks of normal training, when the authorities tell us we can train normally, I think in a couple of weeks, the boys will be ready to play. Of course, not in the maximum of their potential, I think nobody can do that in this moment.

"For us, of course, it is a great feeling, because we finished the period with that defeat at [RB] Leipzig, where we were really, really in trouble to have 11 players, including attacking players, and in this moment [Erik] Lamela, Son, Dele [Alli], Harry Kane, Bergwijn, everybody is fit now."
