Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has revealed Giovani Lo Celso's injury recovery has been hit by the government's coronavirus laws.

Mourinho has confirmed that Lo Celso is doubtful for Tottenham ahead of tomorrow's visit of Manchester United.

However, he says three of the four key players that have returned from injury - Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Moussa Sissoko - during the break will start the match, with Japhet Tanganga (back) and Dele Alli (suspension) both absent.

On Lo Celso, Mourinho said: "Because of the rules, his injury is not in need of surgery but needed daily treatment, close contact with physios and fitness coaches working with him, but that was not possible.

"So two months he was injured but he couldn't recover from it. When the training ground opened, and he started treatment, it was not enough to have him 100 per cent.

"The last few days training, available tomorrow I think so. Tomorrow we're going to test if he is able to play."
