Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho hopes he will see the benefits of a full week on the training ground when his side play Chelsea on Sunday.

Mourinho has had a hectic start to life at Spurs, playing seven games in a month, including three midweek fixtures.

With Spurs out of the Carabao Cup, this week has given Mourinho a first real opportunity to get into his players on the training pitch.

"(He) works very, very hard, very brave, accelerates processes, but there are limits of that acceleration of process with such an important injury.

"But he's doing amazingly well. He's working with a different group of people, since the physios, until the goalkeeping coaches, working really, really hard.

"It's difficult to set up a date, I would say February. I probably would not be far from it and February goes from the first to the 29th this year."
