In what are unprecedented times due to the coronavirus crisis, players are currently having to follow strict guidelines to stay at home like the general public.
It’s no different for Tottenham who called a halt to training at Hotspur Way earlier this month, with players given instructions to train at home to remain in shape for when the season may resume.
As things stand, there will be no football until April 30 at the earliest, although given the figures being released on the outbreak this week, it would come as no surprise if that date was pushed back.
Nevertheless, Harry Winks has provided some insight on how he’s keeping sharp during the lockdown and has outlined the help he’s receiving from the club too in order to stay healthy and fit despite the lack of full training and matches.
“It’s a bit strange for all of us, but I’ve got my head around it,” he said, as per the club’s official site. “In terms of fitness, I’m fine, I’m mainly using the gym at my house. I’ve gym equipment here, a bike, a treadmill. The Club has also given me a squat machine to use to stay strong.
“We’ve all been given a schedule, but it’s flexible, we can do it in our own time. So, for instance, I might have a lay in one day, but then I’ll work later. The important thing is to get it done.
“The coaching and fitness staff drop us messages and stay in touch in case I have any questions. We also have instructions from the nutrition team on our food and a programme on that.”
In what are testing times for all especially those directly impacted by the virus and the health workers working tirelessly to care for them, Winks and the rest of the squad are remaining professional, while doing their bit to help by listening to the advice and staying home.
