Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho says the Premier League may take a while to hot up once it resumes next month.
The league is provisionally set to restart on June 17 after a three-month shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Teams are stepping up their training programmes, this week agreeing the protocols for limited contact training, with further advancements set to come into play soon.
But with only three weeks until the big kick-off - and uncertainty around the possibility of friendlies - Mourinho has warned fans not to expect the premier product straightaway.
