Dele Alli is not racist and regrets posting a social media video which appeared to joke about the new coronavirus, said Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho on Friday.
Mourinho put the 23-year-old Spurs and England midfielder’s Snapchat video down to “a young generation” error, although the player has been asked by the English Football Association to explain the post.
He moved the camera towards an Asian man before showing a bottle of antiseptic hand wash, with a caption saying ‘This virus gonna have to be quicker than that to catch me’. The COVID-19 epidemic — as the World Health Organization formally named it — has also reached Britain where nine cases have been identified.
