Jose Mourinho has dismissed the need for a two-week Premier League 'circuit break' after a sharp rise in UK Covid cases. The Tottenham boss said clubs are doing a good job of keeping players safe, but warned footballers' lives cannot be controlled.
Mourinho said on BT Sport, following Tottenham's 3-0 win over Leeds: "I don't agree with that [a circuit break]. I go back to the initial rules of if you have 14 players available you have to play.
I don't see another reason to not do it. "I think every club does the best to try to keep the players safe. "But then there are moments in private lives that you cannot control and of course, not everyone can be blamed for that so I think we have to carry on.
