Tottenham boss Mourinho: Vinicius needs to be more physical in the Premier League | OneFootball

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho wants a greater show of physical strength from Carlos Vinicius.

The Benfica loanee scored twice in Thursday's 4-0 win over Ludogorets in the Europa League, but will be back on the bench for Sunday's trip to Chelsea.

“He is not playing a lot, especially in Premier League but he helped us to win the game at West Bromwich and in Europa League he is doing OK and adapting," Mourinho said.

“Against Ludogorets was good that he scored an important goal. The second one is 75 per cent Dele Alli's goal, but then in the second half he assists Lucas (Moura) for his goal.

“He is a big boy, a strong boy and needs to be more physical in the Premier League but I am happy.

“It is good for the team to have that because for example last season if Harry Kane needed a rest, we couldn't and because Vinicius is here, the squad is much more balanced."
