Players and staff at Spurs are adjusting to a whole new way of training during the coronavirus pandemic - working out in front of camera on video conference.
But the players working out in their mansions are not affected by the club's financial cuts. All non-playing staff have been forced to take a 20 percent cut in salary

The Premier League is the richest in the world, a £1.2 billion industry that turns footballers and managers into millionaires.
I think it is a moral vacuum to be in a sport where huge sums of money are earned by people at the top. They should be bearing the burden first.
Kevin Brennan, Shadow Minister for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Tottenham Hotspur made a profit of £68 million
The club paid players an average of £70,000 a week
Chairman Daniel Levy was paid £7 million
The broadest shoulders should bear the burden first. Some of these clubs are paying players in a week three times what the staff who are being furloughed are to be paid in their wages. It's really not an acceptable way forward.
The burden should fall on those who can afford to pay rather than looking to the taxpayer to pay the wages of those people who are unfortunately unable to work at the moment.
Kevin Brennan, Shadow Minister for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport The situation is different in Spain where Barcelona's players have chosen to take a 70 per cent cut in their salaries.
In a statement
When I read or hear stories about player transfers this summer like nothing has happened, people need to wake up to the enormity of what is happening around us.
With over 786,000 infected, nearly 38,000 deaths and large segments of the world in lockdown we need to realise that football cannot operate in a bubble. We may be the eighth largest Club in the world by revenue according to the Deloitte survey but all that historical data is totally irrelevant as this virus has no boundaries.
Daniel Levy, Chairman Tottenham Hotspur
