- Manager concerned about goals conceded from set pieces
- Nuno: ‘I don’t count how many times our players head the ball’
Nuno Espírito Santo has said he has ignored the guidance on heading restrictions in training, with Tottenham’s manager suggesting that aerial challenges are impossible to scale down.
The Football Association and the English game’s other major bodies announced in July that players ought to be limited to 10 “higher force” headers a week in training amid continued investigations into the health risks associated with regularly heading a ball, which could include dementia. How the recommendation might be enforced was questioned at the time.
