In an attempt to contain the virus that has claimed Vedran Corluka and Wilson Palacios, the canteen at Tottenham’s training ground has been made “off limits” according to Harry Redknapp. With the 2006 ‘Lasagne-gate’ fresh in the memory Redknapp added, “We are just going to train and get out of there. There will be no food or anything.” David Moyes is hoping for speedy recoveries of a different kind following his side’s Europa League exit on Thursday. Moyes is confident that Everton can maintain their recent domestic form despite the disappointing loss in Lisbon: “We have set standards but there are not many positives when you play like that. However, we cannot complain about the consistency the players have shown in the league the last few months.” Gregg Morgan
