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 for Covid-19 at the weekend and has subsequently been distancing in order to avoid spreading the virus.
Tottenham, however, are 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 on Thursday afternoon as usual, although that will take place virtually on Zoom as opposed to in-person at Spurs’ Hotspur Way training ground in Enfield.
Tottenham have been flying high under Conte recently and have leapfrogged Arsenal into fourth place in the Premier League as they battle their north London rivals for Champions League qualification.
Spurs will hope that Conte testing positive for Covid 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.
