Scott Parker insists it is 'scandalous' Fulham were given only 48 hours notice ahead of rearranged Tottenham clash... but Jose Mourinho admits he has NO sympathy for his ex-player after seeing same fixture postponed 'two hours before the game started'

Scott Parker and Jose Mourinho were on a collision course on Tuesday as they both expressed their outspoken feelings on Fulham's rearranged Premier League clash against Tottenham.

Spurs should have travelled to Aston Villa on Wednesday but Dean Smith's squad have been struck down by a Covid outbreak which forced them to close the training ground.

Now Fulham have stepped in late on to take on Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday, giving them just 48 hours notice ahead of the rearranged kick-off.

The two teams were meant to meet on December 30 in north London but that was originally called off after an outbreak of the virus among Scott Parker's camp.
