Every word Antonio Conte said on positive Covid test, if Doherty needs surgery and strange week

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.
