The year 2020 was to be filled with many sports events like the Euro Cup, Tokyo Olympics, ICC Cricket World Cup and on, however, all has come to a standstill. The COVID-19 outbreak has got everyone to self-isolate at home. While many are doing nothing, there are many who are working from home.

Taking the 'Work from home' to another level is Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho. He and his coaching staff will put players through their paces from home starting Monday as the club holds live video training sessions, Reuters reported.

Spurs' players are in self-isolation as Britain has gone under lockdown and the Premier League has been suspended until at least April 30. The players so far have been working through their own individual training programmes designed by the coaching and sports science team.

England midfielder Harry Winks said they were still adjusting to the new routine. "It's a bit strange for all of us, but I've got my head around it," Winks told the club's website.

"We've all been given a schedule, but It's flexible, we can do it in our own time. So, for instance, I might have a lie in one day, but then I'll work later. The important thing is to get it done."

On Sunday, Steven Bergwijn and Heung-min Son were given permission to return to their home countries, the club said. While Son flew to South Korea for personal reasons, Bergwijn returned to the Netherlands ahead of the birth of his child, Reuters reported.

Tottenham said both forwards will continue their individual rehabilitation and training programmes during their time away.

Bergwijn is also recovering from an ankle injury he had picked up against Burnley earlier this month, while Son had sustained a broken arm last month.
