Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has accused the Premier League of being unprofessional over the handling of their postponed match with Fulham.

Mourinho's side saw the game called off less than three hours before kick-off due to a coronavirus outbreak in the Cottagers' camp and he compared the situation to ones he used to encounter as a youth coach in Portugal.

Mourinho was left frustrated by the lack of communication from the league, having assembled his squad at the club's training ground expecting the game to go ahead.

"The extreme situation that we had in pre-season and nobody spoke a lot about it because probably people thought, 'OK, it's a Europa League play-off match, Tottenham has two teams, Tottenham can play against Maccabi with the second team and still win it," Mourinho said.

"But the situation that we had to go through...we have to refuse to go through again at all.

"It's impossible, it's inhuman. We cannot accept at all if any Einstein comes with the idea of us playing four matches in one week, to do the same that we did before – of playing Premier League, second game, third game and fourth game with one day in between. Impossible.

"So I think this is the Premier League. This is a league with big responsibilities in the world.

"This is the league with, of course not everybody but in general terms, with the best coaches, with the best clubs, with the best players.

"With very good referees. I think we have to be good in everything and all be professionals."
