Tottenham left-back Sergio Reguilon admits he suffered in training during the past week.
Reports have suggested that Spurs boss Antonio Conte has worked the players very hard, as he is displeased with their fitness and work ethic.
Reguilon, who scored the winner in a 2-1 success over Leeds United on Sunday, admitted he experienced a tough time in training under Conte.
