Mourinho has NO sympathy for Fulham ahead of rearranged Premier League clash

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has emphatically responded to claims that Fulham have been hard done by following the rescheduling of their game against Spurs.

Tottenham were due to face Aston Villa away on Wednesday evening but that has now been put on hold due to a coronavirus outbreak among Dean Smith's squad.

Now Fulham have stepped in at short notice to take on Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday, giving them just 48 hours notice ahead of the rearranged kick-off.

The two teams were meant to meet on December 30 in north London but that was originally called off after an outbreak of the virus among Scott Parker's camp.

Now Mourinho has admitted he has no sympathy for Fulham after they were given such short notice for the rearranged clash.

After being asked on Tuesday whether the reshcheduling of the fixture was unfair on Fulham, Mourinho responded: 'Are you serious? I had the news I was not going to play them two hours before the game started.'
