Antonio Conte put his Tottenham Hotspur players through their paces on Friday ahead of tomorrow.
Spurs are gearing up to host Liverpool in North London and no doubt the no-nonsense Italian manager oversaw a gruelling session in preparation of Sunday’s encounter.
Fortunately for Tottenham, all of the usual suspects were spotted at Hotspur Way, but Conte did seem to have a surprise visitor.
Fabio Paratici, the Lilywhites’ transfer guru, was also photographed chatting to the Spurs manager on the training pitches.
Dressed in casual wear, Paratici isn’t usually pictured during sessions:
Tottenham have desperately missed Dejan Kulusevski through injury in recent weeks.
Prior to being absent, the Sweden international was genuinely one of Spurs’ best players this season and although it remains to be seen if he’ll face the Reds tomorrow, the fact he is back in training can only be a positive thing.
Conte’s side picked up a last-gasp victory at Bournemouth last weekend, winning 3-2 after going two goals behind by 50 minutes.
That illustrates that there’s a lot of resilience in this Tottenham side and they’ll need every ounce of it if they’re going to pile more misery on Liverpool tomorrow evening.
