Lucas Moura insists that Jose Mourinho's decision to breach government guidelines to hold a training session with Spurs player Tanguy Ndombele is 'not a big problem'.

Lucas Moura has praised the professionalism of Jose Mourinho, despite the Tottenham Hotspur manager having recently breached government guidelines.

Despite the lockdown rules being applied during the coronavirus pandemic, Mourinho was seen in a park holding a training session with Tanguy Ndombele.

Although Mourinho apologised for his decision after widespread criticism, Moura has insisted that the actions of the Portuguese should not be regarded as 'a big problem'.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, the Brazilian said: "He cares about our shape and he loves football and training so he wants to see everyone and make sure everyone is taking care about our body shape.

"For sure, he takes care of his health as well and I don't think that it was a big problem. He is very professional. Mourinho goes to the training centre every day with his staff and all professionals who give us the training sessions. And we see everyone in the online application at 11am every day."

Premier League clubs are due to hold another meeting on Friday to discuss a possible restart date for the season, as well as address the possibility of potentially not fulfilling the remaining nine games.
