Tottenham are set to face Liverpool on Sunday as the Premier League action continues.
Spurs were hit by a major Covid outbreak and the games against Rennes and Brighton were called off due to their own outbreak and the match at Leicester due to the Foxes' problems.
Speaking ahead of Sunday's showdown against Liverpool, Spurs head coach Antonio Conte has talked about the Covid situation at the club.
On the players returning to training after Covid, Conte said:
"When the players are back from Covid, for sure you have to pay great attention. You can’t give them the same charge of work as other players. You have to pay attention. If you want everything very soon, you risk injuries. In this situation you have to take the risk and at the same time pay great attention. They need time to be fit.
"Also, before picking the starting XI you have to take into consideration all of this. For instance, to start with one player and after 60 or 70 minutes change him with one player who had Covid. In this situation, its important to have patience and take the right risk. Every one of us would like to pick the best players, the best starting XI, but they need a bit of time to have good form, to be fit and not risk an injury. Otherwise it would be a disaster."
On Premier League dealing with the outbreak, the Italian said:
"Have your say on vaccine passports and a circuit break Premier League pause in the survey below."
