'I have my doubts if everybody follows protocols': Jose Mourinho hits out at Republic of Ireland set-up after his Tottenham defender Matt Doherty tested positive for Covid-19

Jose Mourinho has hit out at the Republic of Ireland and suggested the international set-up has not vigorously followed the UEFA Covid-19 protocols.

Mourinho was left furious last week after learning that his Tottenham summer signing Matt Doherty had returned a positive test for the virus.

Doherty and James McClean each tested positive for Covid-19, along with team-mate Alan Browne who had also done likewise in the week prior.
