Tottenham's winter break is in the 'wrong moment' - Mourinho

Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho has revealed his unhappiness at the FA's scheduling of the upcoming winter break.

Spurs, who travel to Southampton for a fourth-round FA Cup tie on Saturday, will start their 14-day break after a home league match against Manchester City on February 2.

Their next fixture after the hiatus will come away at Aston Villa on February 16 - three days before they take on Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in the Champions League round of 16.
