Spurs fans have been reacting on Twitter to the news that Jose Mourinho organised a ‘training session’ with some players in Hadley Common yesterday.
Evening Standard journalist Dan Kilpatrick reported that the Portuguese manager met up with Tanguy Ndombele, Ryan Sessegnon and Davinson Sanchez in Barnet. He goes on to suggest that everyone involved had been reminded of the rules on social distancing and that the club are very unimpressed with their actions.
The Premier League is currently suspended due to the viral outbreak, with the government having regularly reminded everyone to stay at home and socially distance themselves from others. However, it seems as if Mourinho was keen to ignore that advice, as he met up with three senior players for a training session this week.
Should Mourinho be given a serious warning for his actions?
Yes
No

Amazing how the club continues to embarrass us even without playing a match.

These Spurs fans clearly aren’t impressed with Mourinho and feel that the club are embarrassing themselves with their recent actions.
What do we think?
Mourinho organising a training session in a park is hardly helping things when Spurs are already facing criticism for their decision to furlough non-playing staff and it seems as if all parties involved need a serious reminder of social distancing guidelines.
