Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho hits out at international break in sarcastic Instagram post

Jose Mourinho has hit out at the international schedule once more, criticising friendly matches and coronavirus security.

In a sarcastic Instagram post, the Tottenham manager - who has been a vocal critic of the recent international breaks amid a hectic schedule - bemoaned the lack of time to work with his squad, saying he took a training session with just six players in north London on Monday.

The post follows the news the right-back Matt Doherty, who played 90 minutes for Ireland against Spurs teammates Gareth Bale and Ben Davies in Wales last night, has tested positive for coronavirus.

Star man Heung-min Son has also had his own Covid-19 scare with South Korea over the weekend, but has returned a negative test.

Alongside a picture of himself in the gym at Tottenham's Hotspur Way training ground, Mourinho wrote: "Amazing week of football. Great emotions in the national team matches, superb friendlies and total safety. 

"Covid test results after matches been played, randomers running on the pitch while team sessions are taking place and much more... After another training session with only 6 players, it is now time to take care of myself."
