Antonio Conte has admitted that a stomach bug virus worked its around around the Tottenham Hotspur squad ahead of Sunday's match against Burnley.
In shades of Spurs' infamous Lasagnegate match when they lost at West Ham United after a sickness bug swept through the camp, Tottenham had a quartet of players who were suffering in the wake of the north London derby victory against Arsenal. The bug has ensured that Dejan Kulusevski is only fit for a place on the bench for the match against the Clarets.
"Only yesterday to prepare for the game but this is the schedule and we have to play," Conte told BT Sport ahead of the game. "Honestly there was a problem because yesterday Kulusevski didn't do the training session, he was sick with a stomach problem. He was not the only player to have this, maybe a virus came around into the team.
