UNBELIEVABLE: Every word antonio conte said on positive covid test if doherty needs surgery and strange week | History Defined

What kind of an impact with you having had Covid this week had on your preparations?

The impact... I attended the training sessions but from a distance. I had my staff. My staff did a really good job. After the game against Aston Villa, the day after, I started to feel mild symptoms. A bit of pain in my throat so I asked to have a Covid test and it was positive. Now I'm fine and well.

For sure it was a strange week for me and also the players, as they're used to having training sessions with me. Not only with my staff. But it's ok because my staff are doing a great job. I attended the sessions from a distance, and I think on Saturday I stay with my players on the bench. Given the length of time from my Covid test I think I could stay on the bench on Saturday.
