Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg makes Jose Mourinho joke amid Antonio Conte Champions League absence

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has joked that Antonio Conte will not replicate Jose Mourinho's method of hiding in a laundry basket to access his side's changing room in tonight's crunch Champions League clash against Marseille.

Conte is suspended for the fixture in France after receiving a straight red card in last week's eventful 1-1 draw with Sporting CP. The Spurs boss will be in attendance at the Stade Velodrome but will not be granted access to the dug-out or away changing room.

Spurs must avoid defeat in Marseille this evening in order to progress to the last-16 of the tournament. Antonio Conte's side currently top group D with eight points but could drop into the Europa League should they fall to a defeat.
