Conte tests positive for COVID-19

Tottenham boss, Antonio Conte has tested positive for COVID-19, but Spurs are expecting he will be in the dugout for Saturday’s clash with Brighton.

Conte tested positive at the weekend and has subsequently been distancing in order to avoid spreading the virus.

Tottenham, however, is expecting the Italian to be symptom-free and in charge of the team when they host Brighton this Saturday lunchtime.

Conte is also expected to hold his pre-match press conference today as usual, although that will take place virtually on Zoom as opposed to in-person at Spurs’ Hotspur Way training ground in Enfield.

Spurs will hope that Conte testing positive does not disrupt their preparations too much this week as they look to make it five top-flight wins in succession after Saturday’s 4-0 triumph over Aston Villa.
